Science Fiction/Space Opera
In Three Card Monte the crew of the Hummingbird is back. When we saw them last they had just
completed a “complicated con for the Andromeda Royal Family.” Now they are drawn into another con
and Roy, Dee Dee, Dr. Wufren, Doven, Kyle, Bullfrog, Ciarissa and Willy are all
back in action.
It seems that Monte the Leech has sold part interest in his
Palace casino on Roulette and
opened a new casino on Polliworld taking on another partner. It is the partners that have captured
the crew’s interest. He has sold
to the Diamante Families and to the Polliworld Underground. Both groups are dangerous. It doesn’t make sense so the crew
decides to visit and find out what is going on. From the moment they land on Polliworld they are drawn into an
intricate plot and con. Look for
lots of action and surprises.
My big complaint about the first Martian Alliance story was
that it was just too short. Three
Card Monte is still a short read but this time the story is a little longer and
there is more information about the crew.
Dee Dee is still the main character. Her ability to shape-shift does place her in the center of
anything that happens. The plot
was exciting and kept me reading.
Look for some of the same surprises that were in the first story.
I really like this group of characters and I hope that there will be new stories about the Hummingbird
and her crew. The world building
has great possibilities for additional tales.
Musa Publishing released Three Card Monte by Gini Koch in
2012.
