Disappointing and boring

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm a big fan of Mr.Boyd's past work but this and the book before it were not his best work.the paranoia and focus on training were monotonous and take up the majority of the story time. The plot of the last two books could have been covered in two chapters not two books. I hope for more plot and newer plot development if these books continue.

Despite lacking a good villain, it works

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

This nineteenth installment in the tales of Bob and Nikki was one that retread a number of different plots we've seen before. Honestly I don't think there was a single scene that felt completely unique. Part of that was the decision to make it all about just one planet and Bob doing his usual paranoid and cautious advance with extreme levels of preparation, which results in the actual arrival at the planet feeling a bit anti-climatic.

But despite that, this was an enjoyable tale, and far better than some of the other recent tales that were dragged down by Bob's angsty double-guessing of himself. I think part of that was which characters got to participate and the growth of a few characters as the group continues to slowly disperse throughout the local arm of the galaxy.

There is a lot of story that's occured. This book doesn't really add much in the way of new challenges to Bob and his saucer repair crew, but it does play to many of the strengths of the cast and provides a few hours of entertainment.

A fun twist of events

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

Jerry is having a lot of fun with this series. I tell my students that writing should be fun or cathartic.
If I say anything I will be dropping spoilers all over the place. The gestalt of all the stories is where the entertainment lies. The nay sayers seem to focus on the microcosm and nit pick it. It is the macrocosm that gives this series a three dimensional feel and leaves you guessing which way Jerry is going with it. That is what hooked me. I feel like I should be attending one of those meetings, "Hi, I'm Larry and I'm addicted to Bob & Nikki:-). I look forward to my next fix.

Getting a bit unhappy.....

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have been following this series since its inception, and I get the feeling that Mr Boyd is starting to reach for ideas - the flowing theme of the early books is missing.
Add to that, about the first tenth of the recent books is an unnecessary recounting of characters, animals, ships and the like that is an annoying obstacle on the way to the story.
2. I dont mind the folksy repertoire, but when a character makes a statement and there is a one or two page restatement by the other party beginning with "You mean you are saying..." or "You mean to say I..." it is beginning to feel like a space filling exercise.
I'll stick with them for a while longer and hope Jerry returns to the pace and flavour of the early books.

Excellent!

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't know if Jerry ever read them, but I've left pretty tough reviews of his books since the first- the stories are amazing, but his dialogue was... embarrassing. It didn't seem to improve for a long time...
Finally, he got it sorted! Dialogue is relaxed and natural, for the most part. Much more enjoyable to read, without all of the cringing.

I have to leave one criticism, or I'd feel like I was cheating him .
I'm not sure using "Boss" as a title was a wise choice...it starts reading like a 1930s gangster movie script.

But that's minor and just my little opinion.

Great Job, Jerry. Loved it!

Outstanding World and Society Building

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Jerry Boyd has a very prolific imagination, not to mention all of the other talents that his writing displays. I have read every book that he has produced thru Amazon. And while his books are available for free, I have made it a point to buy each one since that the only way I can show my appreciation for his work.

Bob, and BSR is a great society that demonstrates what a few good men, and women can accomplish when no one worries about "who gets the credit".

The stories plot follows consistently and smoothly. Also very believable once you accept the first premise that "sauvers are real".

All in all great work. Good reads, and a lot of enjoyment.

Good Continuity

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

I remain intrigued even after 19 installments for this series. The background is well blended with each current book, bringing old characters up-to-date as required, adding in new characters when encountered and progressively moved forward with each book. While the author plays loose and fast with science and technology he does stay persistent within limits established in the stories. I remain a fan of the series and willingly search for each new release.

Disappointed

Reviewed in Australia on August 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

Probably the better oF the series since Book 13, they have all been readable but I felt there was something missing but couldn't put my hand on it. Will probably be the only one I will re-read after 13. Maybe 14 to 19 will be easier to listen to than re-read. Let's have something interesting happen in 20. We all know the fleet is heading back to Earth. Let's hope they have a better outcome then the last time.

Great, enjoyable read

I have read every book in this series (and listened to all the available audio books). I thoroughly enjoyed every book. The level of story telling has improved with each new book.
Where/when is book 20.
Thank you Jerry Boyd

Bobs saucer repair series recommended

Reviewed in Australia on September 6, 2021

I've read this entire series and have throughly enjoyed the ever present wit, mannerisms of The downtoearth charactors. The story's organically growing of the unique universe' well still managing a constant case of a family bond with all of the entire ships crewinvolved. Travelling around to find large "fires ' to put out Bob dishes out both justice and kindness all the way. a great read and stretch for the imagination.

Good book not a lot really happening but enjoyable nun the less. There was one bit a conversation at the start of the book that seemed to be out of place when later parts were read.
