Story
It was a hard sell, but Cameron had convinced Heather to return to the exoplanet Sang-Morang - where he had hoped they could experience the wonder of this majestic corner of the universe, together. The spacecraft Primion was flight-ready and the immense creature - the Minal Loth - seemed content to follow him wherever he went. And he still had the old Ford pickup truck, gassed up, and ready to explore more of that alien landscape. But Cameron’s well-intentioned plan turns out to be one of his very worst.

Story
During the day, he’s a South Chicago high school janitor, slopping a mop around from nine o’clock to three o’clock, five days a week. At night, hiding out in a boarded-up factory, he attends to his damaged interstellar spacecraft, making repairs and counting the days until he can return to his homeworld of Calunoth. All he needs to do is mind his own business and avoid any messy human dramas for just a few more weeks. But it is on one of those quiet nights when he hears them outside: the MP140s. Named for a police radio code for murder, they're among the most ruthless killers.

Thousands of crew are reported dead, including the ship’s captain. Reluctantly, the young XO, Galvin Quintos, will be taking command of the fleet's crippled dreadnaught, the USS Hamilton, while doing his best to bring fleet survivors back to Earth. To make matters worse, there’s a murderer running loose on board the ship, critically low fuel levels, and the Grish are back, in fast pursuit and ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck - and a good measure of cagey smarts - will Quintos be able to rise to the challenge.

The Earupitans' technology and weaponry was so remarkable, humanity never really had a chance. The aliens now walk brazenly among humans - their reptilian eyes always watchful, always scrutinizing.

His marriage was on the rocks, his sports betting was out of control, and he was hanging out with the wrong cronies in Manhattan’s Little Italy - just another war hero who couldn’t piece his life back together in the real world. Also, there was that strange, annoying feeling that he was being watched....

Late in the afternoon in mid-spring, the typical summer beach crowd visitors were still weeks away. Suddenly, Scotty became aware of an odd-looking object, hovering just above the crashing surf. In an age of hobbyist’s drones and all sorts of flying gadgets, he wasn’t overly concerned until the large flying object moved much, much, closer.

Publisher's Summary
A wicked snowstorm had blown in from the north and the roads were a mess. Recently split from his one-time girlfriend, there was now nothing holding Cameron Decker here in the little backwater mountain town of Larksburg Stand. Time to get back to college, back to Stanford. Seeing a guy knee-deep in slush at the side of the road, he pulled to the curb and waved him over. The guy smacked his head getting in - knocked his watch cap askew. Only then did Cameron notice - noticed that the individual couldn't possibly be human.
Cameron decided to help his stranded passenger - a decision he'd soon come to regret. Along with his rust-bucket of a pickup truck, he was soon heading deep into space aboard an interstellar spacecraft. After the vessel crash-landed onto an alien world, he would now have to contend with a murderous droid and a slew of strange alien life forms. But it is the 45-foot tall killer beast - a Minal Loth - that will impact is life the most. Marooned, Cameron must keep his wits to survive long enough to find a way to return home - back to that little mountain town, and that girl, who he should never have left in the first place.

Stupid, moron, inept, bullshit
This character is toted as a highly intelligent person over and over again. Yet again and again, he makes stupid, conviluted, and rediculas decisions. I just kept getting angrier and angrier. He didn't ask normal follow up questions. He didn't do obvious things until after the fact. The entirety of his problems are of his own making. It's far too frustrating watching him fubble his way through all that bullshit.
Let's run threw until I gave up.
So, after picking up a hitchhiker, a nice thing to do, he learns guy is an alien. Talking, then spouting very personal life details later, he decides to help him. Sure I can get behind a rational decision after getting some promises of peaceful intentions. However, it Kinda gets out of hand from there. After a run in with a very abusive town Sheriff (surprised the asshole hasn't been sued by now) he figures out where the ship is goes for no real reason.
After getting stuck on ship alone with dude, exposition tells us that AI guy called X1(or something similar, honestly I barley cared.) can't feel emotions or empathy. No AI can. Then that's immediately proven false when the AI or the ship itself seems to care about him.
He's then stuck on a ship for a while a decides randomly wondering around and pissing is the best use of his time. There a lot of waisted time, obvious things he should have tried, or natural follow up question just skipped or relagated to a, ask him later, mental list.
Boom bang boom, a crash land later he has all the leverage in the world. Both AIs say its impossible to repair the ship without him. Instead of applying that leverage his ball seem to fall off and roll away because he doesn't even try. He is then threatened by death to retreave the infant tentacle monster he threw out the airlock when X1 was out of commission for awhile. Instead of the ship AI, who named herself Alice and has a fetish for terminator style flesh robots, decided to direct him as to where to throw it off without warning him not to. X1 holds the life of the MC hostage over Alice who cares about him for no reason, so she won't help him on a statistical suicide mission. The one where he is killed by X1 for not going. Ya know, the threat that would strand them on that planet forever because they need him to repair the ship.
Makes litterally no fucking sence. I hopping off when he started playing African Safari with his beat up truck. Seriously, don't both with this garbage book. It barely has continuity from one chapter to the next.

Exceptional book .. as always
I most generally will not use one of my credits for any book less than 10+ hours long.
The only exception is any of Mark Wayne McGinnis's books. I have all the scrapyard series of books,so using one of my credits on this book was a no brainer.
There's something about his writing style that I really like. This book,joyfully, was no exception.
A great book by a great author.
The only complaint I have with any of his books is length. All of his books run at about 8.5 hours.
Which to me is a little to short. I always finish them in one sitting. So if your reading these reviews Mr Mcginnis please ad about 3 or 4 hours of additional story telling please,your books are done way to soon. I know you can do it without being repetitive.
Can't wait for a sequel.

Oh, Gag Me
To be clear - Just gag me. Granted, it is not an overly terrible story. Just one that makes you wonder why it was written. Important parts of the story just happen so quickly that I had to back the story up to see if I missed something. It seems that the author wrote himself into a corner and instead of finding a sensible way out decided to just ignore or create a quick short cut out of it. Ugh.
