Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
A group of antiquated robots have decided that they've had enough of being treated like second-class citizens. Working together, they take over the sewage plant on Segnal Prime and start pumping the sludge back up into the buildings. Seeing that this is bordering on a terrorist-level attack, Platoon F is sent in to regain control of the situation, but it turns out that the robots have just been doing this as a diversion. Captain Don Harr and his team of misfit androids have to get back to their ship and chase down the robots before they can make their getaway.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Rear Admiral Parfait is on holiday when an archaic space probe returns to Segnal Prime. It has a message for the people of the planet, which seems innocuous enough, but Rear Admiral Conster sees it as an act of war. That means Captain Don Harr is in charge of fighting that war.... Platoon F is put on a long trek to attack the planet that returned the probe. But it's many lifetimes away, and Harr doesn't exactly want to die on the ship during flight.

Captain Don Harr has learned that love is not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when the woman he loves has decided to lead a sexual revolution on her home planet. Fortunately, it’s hard staying depressed when you’ve got the Overseers as your employer. Overseer Frexle tasks Harr and Geezer with stopping a couple of cavemen from going beyond the discovery of fire, which is insane but should prove enough to keep Harr’s mind off of lost love. While dealing with the cavemen, an urgent message comes in from Fantasy Planet. Platoon F’s previous commanding officer, Stanley Parfait, has been kidnapped!

You meet the most interesting men in medieval prisons. This one time, I met a guy who offered me immortality for the low, low price of changing my diet. I didn’t read the fine print. Because, he wasn’t talking about a gluten-free diet. More like hemoglobin-full. And now, I’m a friggin’ vampire with five centuries of pop culture references.

For six long months, I’ve been suffering under Click’s tutelage, boning up on my magic skills so I can survive the wrath of several Celtic gods and find a cure for my druid mentor, Finnegas. It’s my fault that the old man is hanging on by a thread, and I’m determined to save his life.

Why sell your soul when you can rent it? Mark Vedis is an average cop. Average for a mage in the Paranormal Police Department (PPD), anyway. After years of doing the jobs nobody else wanted, his career, and life, seemed to be on hold. Then he met a foul-mouthed demon who filled him with power, turned him into a warlock, and dumped him into a world of wealth and debauchery that was disturbing at best. When an enemy strikes who is far beyond what the cops in the PPD have ever seen, Mark is forced to travel to Thailand and face threats from all sides.

When vampire venom mixes with Las Vegas Paranormal Police Chief Ian Dex, he gains access to power like he's never known. The problem is that he's becoming too powerful. That makes him a target. The venom is also making him grumpy, demanding, and dark. Unfortunately, Rachel Cress is finding his newfound brooding angst to be rather sexy indeed, and that only makes things worse. Chicks, man. But the vampire has infected more than just Ian Dex. His venom is surging through supernaturals all over the Vegas Strip. An army is brewing.

Publisher's Summary
An identity change. A spaceship that travels on rails. A new captain who never saw this coming.
Commodore Don Harr is being punished due to a military mistake. He has been physically altered, given a new identity, and placed in charge of the antiquated ship known as the SSMC Reluctant. Their first task is to fly the old beast around the planet in celebration of her 50th anniversary. But during flight, new orders arrive. Harr learns that their true mission is to destroy a nearby Kortnor space station. Worse, it's a suicide mission....
As Harr works with his crew to figure out alternatives to going down in flames, special agent Kek fights to ensure they all die as planned. But something even stranger is going on, and it'll take a bit of sleuthing on Harr's part to figure out precisely what it is....
The SSMC Reluctant is the hilarious first installment in the Platoon F sci-fi series. If you like warped comedy, ridiculous physics, and more innuendo than you can shake a stick at, then you’ll love John P. Logsdon and Christopher P. Young’s insane story.
