Jeff Bailey reviews Max Thrust by James Walker

 Max Thrust by James Walker was, for me, MAX entertainment. The story is a contemporary fiction situated in the middle of todays space program. There is even a reference to The Space Force. When NASA or any other government space programs can’t launch a project in time to solve a problem in space, they call the ultimate space cowboy, contractor Maxwell Ardis of Thrust Solutions. Max is a mashup of the Right Stuff, MacGyver, and Indiana Jones with a little Flash Gordon thrown in. Max has little government bureaucracy restraining him. He can get the job done, done quickly, and done with flair when others can’t. He launches into space for a repair the way some tow-truck drivers dive out to the freeway for a tow, just another day at the office. The whole book just seems like it should be taking place in today’s world: Thrust Solutions: Max's  company. My kind of book. My kind of read. I was so along for the ride. Kudos for James Walker on a spectacular book, Max Thrust.
