About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson comes Willful Child: Wrath of Betty, a new Science Fiction novel of devil-may-care, near calamitous, and downright chaotic adventures through the infinite vastness of interstellar space.
These are the voyages of the starship A.S.F. Willful Child. Its ongoing mission: to seek out strange new worlds on which to plant the Terran flag, to subjugate and if necessary obliterate new life-forms, to boldly blow the...
And so we join the not-terribly-bright but exceedingly cock-sure Captain Hadrian Sawback and his motley crew on board the Starship Willful Child.
The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen series has taken his lifelong passion for Star Trek and transformed it into a smart, inventive, and hugely entertaining spoof on the whole mankind-exploring-space-for-the-good-of-all-species-but-trashing-stuff-with-a-lot-of-high-tech-gadgets-along-the-way, overblown adventure. The result is an Science Fiction novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Reviews for Willful Child
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5These are the voyages of the starship Willful Child. It's ongoing mission is to satirize politics, poke fun at contemporary culture, survive extremely unlikely dilemmas, and to humorously go wherever the author's mind takes it. It's (mostly) a Star Trek parody and true to the original in that it's really about us and now. I liked it. In this second episode, economics, consumerism, and the heavy hand of commercial power are in the cross hairs. The story may not age well because of the contemporary references, but here and now, it's a hoot.
