About this listen

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out.

He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right?

Not so much.

a decent story but a little repetitive, formulaic at times. having skippy be annoyed that he didn't think of an idea got old after the first time. by the end it was grating.

This second story was actually better than the first, it got going a lot sooner .
There were a lot of hilarious wisecracks from Skippy the Alien AI - this character, alone , would make a great storyline.
I'm very much looking forward to the next book in this series.

more laughs with Skippy
