Smuggler's Dilemma

Privateer Tales, Book 5

By: Jamie McFarlane

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

There's guerrilla warfare in the main asteroid belt. The Red Houzi pirates have launched a deadly campaign, sacking defenseless mining colonies and then vanishing into the deep dark of space. No one can predict where or when they will show up next, not even the great Mars Protectorate Navy.

Liam Hoffen and Nick James have returned from their last encounter grateful to be alive, but wondering what they'll do next. Sterra's Gift is nothing more than a broken heap, strapped to a pile of ore. Replacing their beloved ship is hopeless - or so they think until a crazy old man introduces them to an old British warship named Hotspur.

News of Red Houzi attacks near Colony 40 spurs Liam and his crew into action and they set off on a desperate race to save their families. But, what can one ship possibly do against an entire fleet? They'll put everything on the line, but the question is - will it be enough?

A fun read.

Builds the characters personalities, and opens the scope of the threats in a extra solar world.

Enjoyed it.

Love this series

The series is an awesome space opera. David Weber worthy. Please read these books.

A young man's dreams come true.. sort of.

Big Peet's comments about all the women around Liam made me laugh because it was true.. would have liked to see a male character with the same bravery as the female associates. Just the two guys is getting old.. but I still like the series and the narrator, and hope the last three larger books are added to audiobooks soon.

Fun and Exciting

A nice story and finish to Liam and Nick's first round of adventures. Love Naramore's Narration.

The Best Ride, satisfying.

Another great book,the reason I can't wait for the next story! On a par with the first three.
