I read this in one day. At a convention. That's how good it is.

Terminal Uprising by Jim C. Hines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The saga of Marion "Mops" Adamopolus and her crew of hygiene and sanitation specialist cum space rebels continues! Picking up several months after the events of Terminal Alliance, we follow the crew of the EMCS Pufferfish as they travel to a space station inside a space-going whale to meet a most unlikely ally and undertake a mission almost unthinkable: visit the most savage, untamed planet in the known galaxy. Earth.

The action is fast-paced and fun, the humor is constant but rarely in your face, and these are characters you grow really fond of. For a fairly humorous SF book, there are moments of real sadness and loss, and they all work together. This is such a fun and good read, I literally finished in a day of good reading.

You could jump in here and not lose too much, as there are enough references to the first book to make the plot understandable, but I really recommend reading Terminal Alliance first.

I can't wait for the next book in the series. Really good stuff.
