More please! You can't give us these characters and Spot just to stop at this! They have to have more adventures and take on the Coalition. Find the other missing boys?

Jacinto's Voyage is a remarkably well crafted short story. Set in what could be a post apocalyptic earth, a crew of mercenaries are in desperate need of some spare parts for their aging ship, the Alessa. Once there they must barter with a ragtag group of gun-toting humans who, after initially wanting to blow their heads off, come up with the makings of a deal that will ensure Captain Dane and his crew the very part they need.
Unfortunately the deal includes hunting down and killing an alien bein...more

Dane Stiger is a deserter and he's on the run, becoming merc along the way. Jacinto (or Jace) is a human he meets in one of the voyage -- he cannot remember his prior life (including his name). Then a visit to one of the backwater planets brings Jace's memory back to the surface.
I'm not big on sci-fi stories ... so I'm not hurrying to read this. However, I remember liking Daniel Kaine's other book, Dawn of Darkness, so decided to give this a try (plus, it's free :p)

2.5 stars I love me a good sci-fi romance, and while this was OK, I feel like it had the makings to be so much greater. This exact story but lengthened to allow for more of a connection between Dane and Jace would have really sucked me in. So while I liked the plot, I was left feeling a little flat.
Most of the time Dane just talked about wanting Jace, although he does comment that he sees his younger self in the man. But I foun...more
This book was a hit and miss with me. I really liked the story, the scenes, concepts and the main characters, but I felt as if their characters and story could have been explored much further. The intimacy scene felt "tacked-on" at the end, and felt awkwardly outside of the rest of the story instead of being part of the story. It also left me with a feeling as if the story wasn't finished, almost as if the author was made to stick to a certain word count by the publisher, and the story just ends...more
This was a fun, cute little read. I loved the sci-fi, futuristic element, which went along well with the photo. I liked Dane a lot. He's not your typical hero (heck, he's more like an anti-hero), but he's a bad guy with a good side. I loved Jacinto and Spot as well, and I'd love to see future books with these characters.
Intriguing idea but not handled with enough depth and character developement. Would love more of this story and setting written with more detail and heart. Also spell check does not correct for the wrong word used but spelled correctly.
I really liked this story. It had a great sense of place along with some really memorable characters. I honestly can't wait to read other stories by this author.
I have a soft spot for anti-heroes - those bad boys that live by their own morality code but have a warm, kind heart!
Great short story. Had some nice tension and mystery, a dash of romance and can't go wrong w/ a leopard for a pet.

Great sci-fi story, with tension, action and romance. Thank you Daniel A. Kaine, for donating your story, time and talent.
Really enjoyed this - some really sweet moments. And some really funny lines, as I expect from Daniel - it is a talent to thread a bit of humour through your story and not to be out of place - he does this brilliantly ! I know, having read and loved his Daeva book that his world building is excellent - his descriptive writing has such great balance, clear and concise - never too wordy, just enough to transport the reader right into that space. Im not normally a Scifi fan but this genre is growi...more
