Point of Impact

Backyard Starship, Book 20

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Awash with conflict and a building war, the known stars align against Van and his wing of the Guild in a fight for ultimate control.

Van and his crew suspect there's more to the Equal Grasp than just a band of thieves, and they begin their campaign at Bopul Station, a lonely outpost where corruption rules and Peacemakers are feared. To continue the fight and the case, the crew and friends need more than just contacts. They need money.

To that end, Van begins exploring an old mystery about his grandfather, which leads to the shocking discovery—the Earth is being stripped of its history, one object at a time, but that's not the main purpose of the criminals.

Their goals are bigger than just stealing art. Much bigger. One of their targets is nothing less than the end of the Fafnir and Van and everything he represents.

Along the way, Icky learns about motherhood, and Funboy learns about grief, and everyone agrees that cheese is good and pants are bad—sort of.

There's a time and place for everything, and Van will lead his crew for as long as he can.

If he can stay alive—and that's a pretty big if.

the willingness to lose important characters to tragic defeat

the willingness to lose important characters (Lundsy & the Iowa Conicus) in a tragic defeat and evolution.

Arrogance has a Price

Perry’s voice is awful. Nothing like I would expect. Not some baritone judge. Change it next time please. Van has clearly lost his mind. After getting ambushed twice in walked into an obvious one. Cannot believe Perry, Netty, Netty-P nor Perry didn’t see it. I thought AI played chess well.

Daddy

The loss of the Iowa but balanced buy a baby. Nice touch to also end Van's not being part of the corruption.

Great story!

Great mix of drama, humor and mystery! I think this might be the best story yet!

Nice!

I love this series! Can't get enough. I tell everyone who loves books about this series. I can't wait to get to the next one
