An ex-cop who cannot die. A moon full of settlers who cannot thrive. Mahina's terraformers built a high-tech urban paradise. Then Earth flooded the colony with desperate refugees, cop Sass Collier among them. The settlers who arrived with Sass died decades ago. Outside the citadel, their descendants die weak and young. Sass fought a rebellion against the city once. She won concessions to give the settlers a chance at health. She paid with 20 years in prison. Now she’s out, a reformed character. She assembles an oddball crew doing odd jobs. She intends to mind her own business – how to make a profit on the skyship Thrive. But her fellow settlers are still failing. While her business model careens toward circus acts, Sass dares to defy the city again, to solve Mahina’s failure to thrive. Pick up Skyship Thrive because you love upbeat character-driven SF with fun technology. Suggested for fans of Firefly or Nathan Lowell’s Solar Clipper books. ***** Best series I've read in years!" - Chris Vanseth ***** "Really fun. This feels like Firefly, but it's not a cheap knock off. I'm straight on to the next one." - Anti Kate ***** "Quirky characters, fun tech, and social uprising? Yes please!" - Amazon Customer ***** "Fun to read. So tired of books that are filled with constant battle and killing. Very enjoyable characters." - Richard Milburn ***** "Space opera worth reading. If you like the spaceship campy atmosphere of Serenity [Firefly], and a space opera with good guys and bad guys this story will appeal to you." - Kindle Customer ***** "SciFi with heart and humor. The world of Mahina comes to life as Captain Sass Collier, an ex-con with the heart of a crusader, collects a motley crew. Great start to characters and a universe I can't wait to see grow!" - Jen L Audible Reviews for Thrive Veronica Giguere is outstanding as the narrator. - Karen As fun to listen to as it was to read. Booth's sense of humor comes through in both mediums. Veronica Giguere's performance created the world I saw in my head when I read the print version, a feat I find remarkable. - Richard A cast of wonderfully quirky but believable characters in a thoughtfully imagined setting. Veronica Giguere does a splendid job of creating distinctive voices for each character. - C. B. Schindel Love deep characters with flaws and strengths who win you over with their intelligence and humor? Love imagining humanity trying to make it, far away from earth? Veronica Giguere's dramatization brings all the characters to life, with great voicings. - Brett B Tofel
