C. P. James calls Rocket Repo a “palate cleanser,” written to dispel the dystopian gloom of the world around him and his recent writing projects. He was aiming, he says, for pulpy humor with just a few serious and romantic touches. Whether this is a worthy project and whether James achieves its goals are both matters of opinion. A snippet of conversation between our protagonist, Geddy Starheart and Captain Bykite will suffice to reveal whether Repo is the book for you.
“Hey, it’s not my place to ask, but haven’t you guys ever seen a space movie?” Geddy asked.
“Bykite spun around in his chair, irritated. “As it happens, I’m something of a cinephile.”
“Then you know that disabled vessels floating alone in deep space with a gaping hole in the side should be left the fuck alone.”
‘Nuff said? 3.5 stars.½
