Boom Town: Assignment Darklanding Book 08 Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 69 ratings

The rush began with the first rumor. Exotics free for the taking! No hard work needed, just pick them up off the ground! And the miners flooded in. Then the shady businesses to supply the miners. Then the shady businesses to service the miners.

A frontier world. One sheriff. The Company and all the action one spaceport can’t handle.

How will Darklanding’s identity change when it becomes a Boom Town? Greed does strange things to people. It goes hand in hand with power. Will anyone succumb to the siren’s call of endless credits?

Fans of Firefly, Bonanza, and Tombstone will love this space opera / western and all the characters that make the story great. Join us on the latest journey through Darklanding.

    Each episode just keeps getting better. The author has asked which are out favorite characters, that's a difficult question to answer. The main characters who call the Mother Load home can't be beat but the former SI'S are right up there withe them. Each episode high lights different characters making them the current favorite. As an animal lover, Maximus always ranks near the top. The endings always leave me hungry for the next.

    busy trying to get to the next episode. Typical boom town issues. Seems almost like the author knows something about boom towns.

    I’ve had so much fun reading this series. It’s non stop action with new characters added each episode.
    The entire series is evolving just like the planet, Darklanding, itself.
    It’s a Wild West sci-fi with all the great ingredients of each.
    I’m definitely looking forward to the next issue.
    Scott and Craig, keep them coming!

    I've enjoyed the Darklanding series. It was an unexpected bit of fun here on Kindle Unlimited. And even though they've all been short they've been well written. This eighth book in the series though breaks that tradition. This installment jumps around a lot and it feels very rushed, like the authors need to crank one out on deadline and didn't take the time to make it cohesive.

    If this been the first book, I wouldn't have read all the rest.

    Bad things happen, really bad things. One of the planet's secrets is dealt with. But real evil came to Darklanding, and I'm sad. And Maximus is a hero.

    I absolutely love this series. Think space western with humor. The story is face-paced and engaging. Best of all, every 18 days a new comes out
