Joe Vasicek (Goodreads Author)
He wanders the stars in search of a home. Instead, he got a girl without one.
When Jeremiah arrived at Megiddo Station, all he wanted was to make some trades and resupply his starship. He never thought he'd come away with a wife.
Before he knows it, he's back on his ship, alone with his accidental bride. Since neither of them speak the same language, he has no way to tell he...more

Star Wanderers Part 1: Outworlder by Joe Vasicek
One thing about building worlds in science fiction is that there is really no wrong way to build. It's mostly a matter of building a believable system with some consistency that adheres to its own rules.
I have read Sholpan -by Joe Vasicek- which had an interesting take on prisoners being pressed into slavery and sexual submission- I was impressed by it and decided to give Outworlder a try. Its a short read and well worth the try.

Really a novella. Sci Fi in its classic form with a naked passenger thrown in for interest.

So, I went into it thinking it was going to be rather like the "Ours Mrs. Reynolds" episode of Firefly, but I came out of it thoroughly intrigued. Everything introduced of the world, the technology, the characters had me hooked almost immediately. Especially the-- ... well, I don't want to spoil it. I'm not a fan of spoiler reviews, so I'll just say, It's worth your investment and your time. Buy it, read it, try it. :D
I guess this is more of a sci-fi romance, but not the terrible kind.
I liked that it's about a guy who's trying to make his way in the galaxy, and I like that it's nice easy consumable episodic fiction. Not serialised, as I think each book is a self-contained story, but I'm assuming this is just an episode like a comic book or TV show episode.
I'm on board for at least one more episode to see where things go.

Great premise and marvelous potential, but I didn't get a satisfying ending from this first part. The author describes the reasoning behind breaking this into shorter novellas, but the hassle of having to go back and get each part onto my e-reader is enough to turn me off from downloading the rest. I will say this was an enjoyable free read with engaging characters and a fantastic sci-fi setting.
I enjoyed this story, although I thought it odd that that Jeremiah never used his resource of the ship's computer to try to learn the girl's language. I would have liked a little more, the end seemed to come rather quickly.

I found the story interesting and well written, but at the end of the book I just felt unsatisfied. It was like I had just read a sampler of a novel, the first few chapters, instead of a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
What a fun read! In just a few pages, you get a real sense of the main character and the interesting situation he is placed in.
It's a sweet story that had me smiling the whole time

Star Wanderers: Outworlder is a great sci-fi story about overcoming not just the loneliness of space but the loneliness within.
Okay book a little on the short end and leave a lot of loose threats were you can think for yourself
