Summary

The Keiko is a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune and adventurers, travelling Earth's colony planets, searching for the next job. And nobody talks about their past.

But when a face from Captain Ichabod Drift's former life sends them on a run to Old Earth, all the rules change. Trust will be broken, and blood will be spilled.

Critic reviews

"Mike Brook's Dark Run is a rambunctious, rapidfire rollercoaster of a listen. Get signed up and strapped in for a helluva ride!" (Michael Cobley, author of the Humanity's Fire series)
" Dark Run is a thrill-ride of non-stop action, wise-crackery and adventure in the vast vaults of outer space. I look forward to revisiting Ichabod Drift and the crew of the Keiko time and again...." (Luke Scull)

Very Fireflyish

If you liked Firefly you’ll probably like this book. The author’s exposition is as subtle as a brick at times, but it’s a well told tale even if the confrontation with the villain is a bit of an anti-climax.

Decent story, sub par narration

Honestly the story was pretty good, but the narration was a bit of a lame duck. The characters all appeared to have a west African or Jamaican accent no matter where in the world (or galaxy) they were from. It constantly jarred me out of the story and at times just made me want to switch off and stop listening. Not sure I’ll be digging out book 2 of this series, at least the audible version..
