James Alan Gardner

Pleasant writing style. I found the story to be a bit farfetched at times, but it did have physically flawed people as main characters, and good female representation.

I loved this book. I don't know whether it's the quirky story, the fact that it's set in Waterloo, of all places, the characters, or some mix of it all, but it's a really fun ride.

I don't know what I expected this to be, but I loved it. Expendable is, by turns, funny, snarky, intelligent, thrilling... everything you'd want from a ripping good space yarn.

A good continuation of the series with a deadly plague, killer robots, impossible E.T.s and a central mystery that is as cleverly presented as it is solved. I like Gardner's easygoing style of writing too, the action flows along with nary a clunky passage.
