Reviewer praise for SECRET AGENTS of the GALAXY
A favorable review from Essential Malady for SECRET AGENTS of the GALAXY. This review was posted some months ago, but I only came across it now:
Something I didn’t really mention in my last review was the swashbuckling genre this fits within. This shouldn’t be thought of simply in terms of sword-fighting (of which there is very little so far), but with regard to the spirit of the story. The characters are chivalrous, daring and as sure of themselves as they are of the difference between right and wrong. There is also a general spirit of fun in the book’s tone which is so often absent from so much fiction today. This fusion of fantasy, science-fiction, swashbuckling adventure is the formula that made the original Star Wars films so popular. Wright understands this much better than the current rights-holders to the once beloved franchise ever will.
