Summary
Bobby Sneyd, New Frontiers' CEO, Inc, is worried.
The company has fallen on hard times, in part due to the activities of a bidding cartel on Terra. Sales are down; transportation income is down, and the prospectors can no longer find the valuable metallic asteroids the company depends on. And as always, jealous nations on Terra look toward Mars and plot to take over and stamp out the upstart nation!
The prospectors have become restless, angry with the company. For the moment, they lack a leader, but they’re about to find one. Arguably, the last person any of them would have chosen. But not all will follow him.
Despite everything the Republic has been able to do, a criminal class has emerged. For a time, they preyed on the unsuspecting prospectors, but then they turned to an ancient practice: piracy.
Will the human expansion into space, once so promising, collapse, defeated by a combination of human greed and an old criminal endeavor? Or will Chuck, the former NFI chief executive, be able to work with the prospectors to counter this new threat?

Weakest one yet
Ok so I had a few misgivings over the series but in all it has been a good set of books. This last book however for me was weak. I felt the way that the characters were developed was poor and it felt like this whole book was about moving around pieces to transition into future books which is fine but when you have characters shifting positions like they were I just found it disappointing. This book changes its focus onto a different set of characters also, for me this is more like a separate story set within the same universe and in my opinion should of been marketed as such if that was the case I would of most probably given it a higher score.

Loved it all !!!
It’s to bad because I’ve received the whole six audiobooks series for reviewing which was the complete series and now when I’m done I noticed that the author have written a seventh book and got it narrated to, hopefully the author will notice and release the seventh one for reviewing to which I truly would love to !
About the series itself it started really slow at the beginning but moving on to each next book it got more and more interesting with more action, technology, different aliens and unexpected twists.
WOW !!
The he author Jack L. Knapp have upgraded once more with amazing twists, action, piracy and much much more on this one.
book six of the series
Is full of tension which
makes it very hard to put
down, not even for a second.
The Narration by Tom Lemnon was flawless as usual.
Absolutely recommend !!!

Another Cracking Yarn!!!
Pirates was a slightly different offering to the other NFI books, but was still just as great a listen as the others. Well done Jack and Tom for another entertaining book.
