katikat"Galactic Bounty: A traitor is on the loose. A treacherous navy captain plans to sell military secrets to the alien Il Ronn. The only man who can stop him is Sam McCade. Betrayed by his friends, stalked by his enemies, McCade is the only one standing between a terrifying alien threat - and the unimaginable devastation of the Terran Empire." Imperial Bounty: Since her brother's absence, Princess Claudia has seized the throne and brought the Empire to the brink of war with the Il Ronn. Only the missing Prince Alexander can stop Claudia's plans - and Sam McCade has only three months to find him. But Princess Claudia controls the Imperial Fleet and will stop at nothing to keep McCade from bringing in his imperial bounty.
Review: Two books in one, "Galactic Bounty" and "Imperial Bounty", depicting the adventures of a bounty hunter in space, Sam McCade. I liked the 2nd story better because there was more space exploration and the planets that Sam visited were truly intriguing.
But there was one thing that really bugged me: the abrupt changes of POV which became more and more frequent as the book neared its end. In my humble opinion, it's a bad story telling when you lose your readers and they suddenly have no idea who's "talking".
Nonetheless, I would definitely read the next book, if I got my hands on it. The stories are fast paced and Sam, Phil, Rico and all the other characters are very likable, even though Sam tends to think with his downstairs brain whenever a woman is present.
