Callisto Switch
 At the close of the twenty-first Century, Lee Vidar is a "switch pilot" working for Starship Industries on the Callisto-Europa run. The job is easy: Lee picks up the Orion engines used to power the first starships on the long voyage to the Hope colony, in the Alpha Centauri system. Long-haul pilots take these "dirty," dangerous engines to the midpoint of the run, where Lee hands off to another switch pilot and returns to Callisto. On this run, nothing goes according to plan. Rumors are flying, news channels sizzle ... and Lee's sometime lover, Johnny Dujon, is involved up to his eyeballs. Passion blossoms unexpectedly against the background of an overpopulated, ruined solar system, where Hope is the last prayer of humanity. And humanity is in big trouble. Hard SF with a twist of mystery and a dash of romance from long-time favorite Mel Keegan.  Read the first 10% of this novel right here, in PDF format

READER REVIEWS: CALLISTO SWITCH REVIEWED BY B.E.M. This one's like a movie tie-in - you can see it on the sceen. Would make a great movie similar in lots of ways to OUTLAND (that one was also set on Jupiter) and I think FIREFLY. Not that anything in [CALLISTO SWITCH] is like those others, but I really get into these scifi shows (and books) where everything's 'dirty' and you can see how things work. Like ALIENS. Mel Keegan does this stuff sooooo great. (I'm also pretty damn sure Josh Whedon has read Mel Keegan, because there's things in common between some of the Keegan books and FIREFLY/SERENITY ... and then I checked the copyright dates, and MEL DID IT FIRST. Like ten years before!! So there's something for you, if anybody needed a rec. Then, plus, there's the gay spin on these characters and you gotta love it. You can stop wishing and imagining your 'subtext' stuff,' and enjoy The Real Deal. I just realized I didn't talk a lot about CALLISTO SWITCH and this is supposed to be a review. Oops. I got the ebook version, I loved it, great story, really REAL characters. Rating: four outta five stars. To score five, tell MK he needs to go back to writing red-hot sex like he used to!!! But I know some people get fazed. So, what the hell? It's just me I guess. Maybe I have no imagination??? :D |
