Review of 'Space Viking' on 'GoodReads'

2 stars

Shallow, reasonable paced entertaining story, could be used for a television series.
Typical stupid ideas from the USA culture: it is OK to bomb, raid and rape people from other societies, as long as yours is more advanced; democracies will fail, and the population must arm it self, governments should intervene as little as possible.
A few women in this book are there to be pretty and loved, beside these, women are seen as objects to be used for pleasure of the crew.
