Review of 'Barbary Station' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
What everybody else said about the writing.
Also, i prefer my pirates more anarcho-syndicalist, but that’s just me. At some time, the pirates divide up the loot: “‘These things cost future money (…) some totaled-up price when we get to our bank accounts again.’” What? Cost? Bank account? For Caribbean pirates, what they got as loot was divided, and what they got was what they got. No need to bring det¹ into it.
What i found odd was a bit of jargon: Apparently the word “atmosphere” was too long for a breathable mix of nitrogen, oxygen and a bit of water vapor for these spacefarers so they use “atmo”.
