The characters are a likable but sketchily drawn collection of savants. The young girl is more deadly with a sling than the hoodlums are with guns, one of the older brothers has a detailed knowledge of the massive star liner’s mechanical systems, and the pilot turns out to be an effective tactician. While implausible, that is not a fatal shortcoming in science-fiction. What’s critical is that the scenario created by the author captivates readers and induces them to suspend their critical judgment and enjoy the fun. “Starjacked” does just that.
I am amused by one anomaly: the advertising blurbs on the front and back covers focus on the reporter's efforts, who reportedly will find himself “leading a full-scale guerrilla rebellion” to seize control of the ship. Nonsense. The reporter is a tertiary character of minor importance. It appears the person who wrote the advertising material did not read the book.
The bottom line, however, is that the plot of Starjacked maintained my interest and the story moved along at a snappy pace. ( )
