The year is 2117. In the farthest reaches of Earth's territorial space, a spree of depraved murders has local cattle ranchers fearing for their families. A fear, they will soon discover, that is more than justified. Apparently, John Gallic's reputation proceeded his arrival to the fringe-world of Muleshoe. A reputation suggesting he be given a wide berth. As the new Territory Abettor, commonly referred to as a Frontier Marshal, Gallic would be there for the long haul. Formally titled Detective Chief Inspector of the Spatial Colonial Police-District 22-he'd investigated only the highest profile murders and was a rising star within the department. But that life was in the past. Gallic now provided an assortment of backwater law enforcement services to the burgeoning deep-space frontier territories. Sure, there was an occasional smalltime crime to investigate, but more often than not Gallic spent his days-commissioned by the big Interstellar banks-repossessing billionaire ranchers' high-priced spacecraft. A glorified repo man. He was fine with that. It gave him spare time to do the one thing more important than anything else-find the murderer of his wife and child.

Mark Wayne McGinnis is a prolific writer of military science fiction, but Galaxy Man is an interstellar hardboiled crime thriller. Protagonist John Gallic is a former policeman whose family was murdered by a villain known as the hammer-and-nails killer. He has moved to a frontier planet where he is a privatized marshal. As a marshal, he mainly works as a repo man, retrieving spaceships whose owners have not made the payments. But when the hammer-and-nails killer, or perhaps a copycat, takes up his gruesome business again, Gallic is on the case. The most interesting science fiction aspect of the story is the testy relationship Gallic has with his spaceship’s artificial intelligence. Gallic refuses to name the AI and says that Ais are just tools and that his, in the snarkiest sense, is more of a “tool” than most of them. 3.5 stars. ( )
