R. E. Stearns: Barbary Station (2017, Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers) 3 stars

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”.
