Head Space

The Fixer, Book 6

By: Andrew Vaillencourt

Narrated by: Jay Ben Markson

It takes a brave soul to mess with Dockside.

Roland Tankowicz has made a career out of teaching this lesson, and the galaxy is starting to notice. Yet despite filling entire graveyards with corporate raiders, pirates, criminal organizations, and the occasional marauding cybernetic psychopath, somebody out there still thinks the lucrative district is worth harassing.

Someone is funding drug dealers, pimps, smugglers, and other scumbags, then sending them to Dockside faster than everybody’s least-favorite army-surplus cyborg can kick them out. Before Roland and his team can start rounding up suspects, a terrifying revelation about one of his former teammates raises the stakes higher than they’ve ever been.

Soldiers, spies, mercenaries and pirates converge on New Boston’s most famous fixer as he begins to unravel the plot the only way he knows how: with his fists.

Roland must take the fight to a lawless section of deep space and challenge a strange new enemy on his own turf. Lucia will face her darkest moment as well, as the past and future combine in a trial that will forever cement what she has become.

Has Roland truly outgrown his days as a mindless war machine? Can Lucia accept the weight of leadership without the crush of fear dragging her down? Were the Golems just another super-soldier program, or is something even more sinister at play?

This time it’s not about money, or power, or even revenge. It’s about the right to live, to grow, and to become what you were meant to be. This time, the battle is over.

Wow! Andrew Vaillencourt has become one of my favorite authors. His writing style has just the right balance of descriptive prose, action and comedy. The entire Fixer series has wonderful characters and compelling story lines. So far, Head Space is my favorite in the series, which is saying a lot.

A good book !

I enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator, Jay Ben Markson, did a great job giving each character their own distinctive voice.
Tank is a great character. Well written and believable history. His team is also a great fit.
I would really love to see more of Billy. His sarcasm is perfect while also being respectful. He doesn’t go too far. 👏👏👏👏

Another excellent addition to the series

Another great installment of this ongoing story. Characters are well developed and the story kept me listening in the driveway. Author has created a fantastic universe of characters in his writing and the reader again does a fantastic job of telling the story so that it plays like a movie in your head. Here’s to hoping there will be another installment in this series in the not too distant future!
