Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. This WoW pick is brought to you by:
This month I’m highlighting science fiction novels, and here’s this week’s pick:
In this debut space epic, a crew of thieves and con artists take on a job that could pay off a lot of debts in a corrupt galaxy where life is cheap and criminals are the best people in it.
The Keiko is a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune, and adventurers travelling Earth’s colony planets searching for the next job. And they never talk about their past—until now.
Captain Ichabod Drift is being blackmailed. He has to deliver a special cargo to Earth, and no one can know they’re there. It’s what they call a dark run…And it may be their last.
Dark Run by Mike Brooks. Another awesome looking book from Saga Press, which releases in June 2016! Any story that involves thieves and space immediately makes me sit up and take notice, and this one is screaming “If you love Firefly, you’ll love this book!” Goodreads doesn’t tell you, but according to the author’s website, this is the first in a series, and the second book, Dark Sky, is already out in the UK.
What do you think? Let me know what you’re waiting on this week too:-)
If you’d like to participate in Sci-Fi Month, head on over to Rinn Reads or Over the Effing Rainbow!
Not releasing until June?! I hope you manage to get your hands on an ARC before then 🙂
Me too! June seems so far away, right?
Hmm, sounds like it has potential. I’ll have to check out some of those UK reviews to see what kind of reception it’s getting.
Looks like pretty solid reviews on GR:-)
I almost featured this for my WoW too! Yeah it’s out in the UK already and I’ve heard some great things.

I totally read this summary thinking, “FIREFLY.” Going to have to add this one to the list, definitely. 🙂
This is in the UK – goodbye – need to go and get a copy, it sounds awesome.

Okay first, WOAH, either I haven’t been here in a while, or you changed up your blog design recently. Either way, I LOVE IT! 😀
I’ve not heard of this book! You always choose the best sci-fi. I hope you enjoy this book when you read it!
Have a fabulous day, Tammy. 🙂
Check out my WoW post!

I was thinking this sounded like Firefly while I was reading it, so it makes sense that they’re promo’ing that way! Too cool! Happy reading.

Book 2 is already out in the UK, and we have still have to wait until next June for book 1?! What a horrible deal!
I need to read more sci-fi. I think I might actually like it if I could give it a chance. Great choice and thanks for sharing it.
