The Malo Kemp Assignments - A bit of Space Opera for the holidays!

[Andrew]

The Space Opera tale JUNK VOYAGE from the Malo Kemp Assignments is available free on Amazon Kindle 28th, 29th December and 1st January.


Independent space trader Malo Kemp gets a call from his past. Vern Fisher is desperate. He's one of the oldest Junkmen in the business and now he's reaching out to the only person who can help him.

What starts as an errand of mercy puts Malo on a collision course with some old associates, as well as the Supervisors of the CLS.

Meanwhile Vern spends what might be his last hours contemplating the secret he has kept from everyone.

I'll give it a try.

I gave it a try last night. It's a short read that took me about 30 minutes.

The story was ok but laced with typos and poor sentence structure/missing words, etc -- the typical annoyances of self-published material that receives inadequate editing & proofing. While that type of thing definitely detracts from the story, it did not completely ruin it.

I saw the twist at the end coming from afar but it was still kinda cool. I liked the protagonist well enough and could see this 'universe' easily being expanded upon. But seriously, please put more time into proofing your work. It will go a long way toward making it more readable.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, ScoLgo. I always take these sorts of comments seriously and learn from them. The MSS has been through quite a number of re-reads and reviews, and not just by me.

Interestingly, I've found some sentence structure issues are a matter of taste. I've seen a number of writers disagree about issues around spelling, capitalisation (capitalization?!) punctuation, and sentence construction and I've had conflicting and sometimes quite impassioned advice on this, especially on punctuation.

I do intend to expand on the world of Malo Kemp, there are three stories out there and plenty of potential for more. I'm encouraged that you liked the story.

I'd encourage anyone else reading this to give it a try. It's free on Kindle 28th an 29th Dec and 1st January.

Thanks
Andy

Andrew,
Thanks for listening. I hope it comes across that I am not slamming your story. I really did like it. As far as the typos & sentence structure issues, I will PM you some examples that I found. I think that is a more appropriate approach than posting specifics here.

Thanks.
