#RRSciFiMonth Waiting on Wednesday 11/11/15
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
Mechanical Failure by Joe Zieja: June 7, 2016 (Saga Press)
For Week 2 of SciFiMonth, my Waiting on Wednesday pick is this quirky military sci-fi title (literally…how can you see this book’s name and tagline and not give a little chuckle?) about a sergeant-turned-smuggler who ends up rejoining the fleet to help prevent a coup. The protagonist Rogers sounds like a real scoundrel. Have I mentioned how much I love scoundrels?
“A smooth-talking ex-sergeant, accustomed to the easygoing peacetime military of ten years ago, unexpectedly re-joins the fleet and finds himself trying to stop a coup from occurring.
The Great Galactic War resulted in the Two Hundred Years—and counting—peace, a time of tranquility that has never been seen. With an interstellar treaty signed by nearly every colony and enforced through a solid alliance between them, it seemed as if mankind has finally conquered war. This is what Sergeant R. Wilson Rogers experienced for ten years before he left the Meridan Patrol Fleet to become a smuggler.
But when a deal goes south, things quickly turn sour. Rogers is forced back into military service as an ensign and discovers a coup forming within the fleet. His backdoor and criminal experience is the best thing to stop this coup, and somehow, he finds himself working to do just that.”

Hmm, these Saga titles keep popping up! I don’t remember this one in the recent cover reveal bonanza, but very cool, sounds like fun! Oh, and Saga seems to be popular today. My pick is one, and I saw another WoW pick that was a Saga book too.

That’s the second Saga sci-fi title I’ve come across in WOW posts today. It’s looking like a good year for them.

I’d probably buy this based strictly off the cover and title… it’s the tagline that does it for me XD

Military sci-fi can go both ways with me, and more often than not there’s too much emphasis on technology and too little on story or characterization, but this one sounds like the kind of book I would enjoy. And what’s more, being a huge Firefly fan, how could I resist a former military turned smuggler? 😀 😀
