The Backworlds Books 1, 2, and 3: The Backworlds, Stopover at the Backworlds’ Edge, and Boomtown Craze.

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendants to survive in a harsh universe. This set contains the first 3 novels in the science fiction series, The Backworlds. A space opera adventure.

The Backworlds
After the war with the Foreworlders, Backworlders scatter across the remaining planets. Competition is fierce, and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to improve his fortunes by destroying his son. He tells his only boy their moon isn’t big enough for them both and gives Craze a ticket for the next transport leaving the space dock.

Stopover at the Backworlds’ Edge
Revenge is on Craze’s mind. He chews on it every day along with the relentless dust on Pardeep Station. He dreams of grander wealth, enough to make his father choke. That’s the dream consuming him when the interstellar portal opens, spitting out a ship that should no longer exist. A battleship spoiling for a fight. Yet the war with the Foreworlds ended two generations ago.

Boomtown Craze
Craze is only days away from the grand opening of his shiny new tavern. The starway opens, bringing in a loony Backworlder intent on mucking up his carefully laid plans. Gaunt and trembling, she claims her spaceship is possessed. She also has a connection to the underworld, threatens to end Craze’s prosperity before it begins.

The crazy story of a backworlder named Craze

Avaliado no Reino Unido em 18 de março de 2017

This trilogy is about the fall and rise of Craze. Craze is typical of his people. He is selfish, ambitious, prepared to lie, cheat and manipulate others to get what he wants. This makes him typical of his people and they are typical of the backworlder people in general. This is not too surprising. The backworlders are all genetically modified forms of a common root stock. There are many different backworld peoples all created by the foreworld people to exploit the particular environmental features of individual backworlds for their benefit.

This may not sound too promising a starting place for an author but Pax brings everything together in a very clever series of stories. The key to it all working is that Craze has a talent and he is sigle minded about exploiting it. Craze is a brilliant bar-keep and brewer with a touch of OCD about him - he obsesses about the cleanliness and ordering of his bar. He also comes to see that he can make better progress through working with a group of friends than by using everyone he encounters - although this doesn't mean that everyone gets fair treatment. Consequently, this triology is very different to many science fiction stories. There are ex-soldiers involved and there is fighting. But this is not a story of the military. There has been a war but these stories are set in the time of a truce between the backworlds and the foreworlds although this does not mean the relationship between these groups are actually peaceful.

I found these books engrossing. The ideas are original, sometimes even crazy. How else could you describe militarised chocolate! But the ideas are well developed. Everything hangs together in a way that makes a slightly crazed form of good sense. I really enjoyed the way everything hangs together even when the built in tensions suggest that it should not. This is clever story telling and it is why I awarded the trilogy a 5 star rating.

Worth a read

I read a lot of sci-fi and have to say, that whilst originally sceptical that this series would end up being worth reading (I always read everything I buy, probably says something about me being a cheapskate ;-) ) I found myself enjoying the characters + plot lines and being drawn in. I realised after a while that the only problem I had with the books was the colloquial pattern of speech the characters spoke in, whilst I appreciate that this can help to form characters I initially found it frustrating. This occurs in most sci-fi to some extent, so maybe its something that only I find irksome.

Lightweight but enjoyable SciFi

Im quite enjoying this series reading it an hour a time during breaks at work. I picked up the 1st book could have easily put it down but found myself finishing it, an easy read I like the characters. Craze really struck a chord with me, Thrown out by hes family he wonders if he's good enough for hes new friends who help him out even when he feels he doesn't deserve it. After book1 I was chuffed to find the box set cheap and never thought this series would hold my interest for 7 instalments but here I am just bought numbers 4 & 5 and Im pretty sure I'll be getting 6&7 in a month or so.
Just nice undemanding SciFi you can pick up put down and enjoy without a furrowed brow.

4 stars.

A trio of stories that encompasses many races and worlds.
Really interesting and fun, though often serious. Many twists and turns during the adventures, with great characters who work well alone but even better when their actions unite them in one place.
Really liked this book.
