Sara Rising #3by Patti MartinsonReviews may contain information that could be considered 'spoilers'. Readers should proceed at their own risk. Publisher
Credits Grade: 7 Sara and Bob fend off their pursuers and they are on their way to the Oasis Station, to repair their damaged ship and for Bob to track down the men who set him up.Sara is agog over the station and manages to bond with some aliens who are part of kind peaceful cult. Meanwhile Bob tracks down the guy, Fez, that gave him the job that landed him in trouble on Earth and shakes him down. Unfortunately, a few other folks have a beef with Bob and it looks like him and Sara have another fight on their hands. This particular issue doesn't have much plot going for it; it pretty much almost a series of comedy sketches. From the guy taken away by robots for littering, to the size of Fez, to Sara accidentally turning Stan Lee into some kind of prophet. While using a intergalactic trading station is not exactly a new concept, nevertheless it does allow for some nifty stuff to happen that makes. The characters or plot may not get anywhere much, but they found a fun way to pass the time. The only serious flaw is the appearance of the Major back on Earth, with the awful southern accent and the endless family stories. They seriously mar what was a very enjoyable issue.
