Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Sovran's Pawn
J. C. Cassels · 2012
68/100
👎 Skip It
A fun, retro-flavored space opera with genuine affection for the classic TV adventures that inspired it, and a romantic tension between leads that readers clearly enjoy. The expanded edition adds depth, but without meaningful critical coverage it's hard to rate it much beyond a solid genre read with a loyal small audience.
