Praise for Terminal Alliance:
"The book is damn hilarious. It's less Tanya Huff and more
Phule's Company in the best
possible way. It's witty and sharp, it sneaks in some social commentary, and it skates just on
the right side of the line between clever absurdity and complete chaos."
—Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times
bestselling author
“Jim Hines is one of the funniest, and most fun, writers in our
genre! Terminal Alliance skewers science fiction tropes and takes
on a wild romp through an original universe.”
—Tobias S. Buckell, author of the Xenowealth series
“Terminal Alliance was a really fun read. Mops is a great POV
character, and I enjoyed the way that the maintenance crew got to
be the heroes—but also they didn't just pick up the controls of the
ship and fly around as though it were super easy.”
—Ann Leckie, Nebula- and Hugo-winning author of Ancillary
Justice
“I enjoyed Terminal Alliance very much. It’s a spunky, irreverent
interstellar romp with most unlikely heroes and frequent
laugh-out-loud moments. I look forward to more adventures featuring
this delightful cast of galactic janitors.”
—Marko Kloos, author of the Frontlines series
“Like the slightly demented love child of Douglas Adams and
Elizabeth Moon, Terminal Alliance is clever, silly, full of
surprises, and unfailingly entertaining. Apparently Jim C. Hines is
capable of being funny in every genre.”
—Deborah Blake, author of the Baba Yaga series
“Hines (Libromancer) delivers a fantastic space opera that doesn’t
skimp on the action and excitement but pairs it with a hefty dose
of slightly scatological humor. The author is especially clever in
having Mops and her team leverage cleaning tools and a knowledge of
spaceship plumbing to fight their enemies.”
—Library Journal (starred)
"[Terminal Alliance] is also good science fiction: a solid premise,
an expansive universe, a compelling history, a strong and varied
cast of characters, pulse-pounding action, and a galactic crisis
with high stakes. The fact that it’s funny is icing on a rich and
delicious cake. Clever, and should appeal to fans of Douglas Adams
and John Scalzi."
—Booklist
