Lethal force is authorized.

In the wild space of the Deadlands, Taurus Station is where miners and tourists come to play, and the ravager gangs follow close behind. Out here, far from the civilized world, the Law has a name.

Gage Walker is the son of hard-nosed asteroid miners. Brash, rough, and crude, he's one of the few deputies working the station.

Still a rookie, Walker is tasked with the security of a mining magnate's daughter, an easy job that quickly takes a turn for the worst.

The ravager gangs want her, and it falls to Walker to find out why.

In a chase across Taurus Station, Deputy Walker must prove he's fit to wear the badge and issue his own form of justice...one body at a time.

Experience this exciting beginning to a brand new series set in the Renegade Star universe. If you're a fan of Judge Dredd, Renegade Star, or Borderlands, you'll love this epic, scifi thriller.

...on a border land space station. I wasn't sure where this book was going, when Gage got stuck baby sitting a heiress to a trillion dollar mining organization. The first couple chapters was a bit boring, then things got interesting. I like most of the characters, but really like Bird, and thought Haley reminded me of Icky from Backyard Starship.

The authors did a good job setting the world up, introducing a mix of characters, and giving enough hints of things to come in later book.

Only complaint, the events at the wedding was a tab bit too unbelievable for me.

This is a very well crafted story with a number of surprise twists along the way. Bold character portrayals make this a fun read. The tech is interesting, but is only a part of the scenery, letting the story unfold naturally. The trainee cop who gets it done in spite of screwing up in the opinion of his sheriff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A space yarn in the Western tradition
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2020

Frontier justice in space is an awful lot like the storied justice of the old American West. Lawmen come from all levels of society, but embrace the demand "Do the right thing! " After two years of training Gage Walker has been in the field with his trainer almost long enough to become a Deputy- maybe. Then he ignores protocol (again) and earns the wrath of the Sheriff. What follows is a combination of coming of age, hard-boiled detection, farce, sit-com, espionage, betrayal, and a guide for thosewho want to do what's right in a torturously complex universe. I especially commend Chaney for the place he gives graphic sex: Nowhere! Great lit? I don't know, but it is a great read!

Good story. Fast paced. Lots of action. But could use another edit for words that don't belong, extra words. Not bad enough to pull you totally out of the story though.overall would recommend it

Spoiler alert: The MC is a rookie cop on a space station. He gets an assignment for a bodyguard detail for a heiress prior to her wedding. It turns out that he's been set up as the detail is both dangerous and politically sensitive. Turns out that the bride-to-be and her father are involved in a power struggle. There are also criminal gangs and many unresolved loose ends involving the sheriff's dept.

The writing was just average and the characters and situations never engaged me. I finished the book but really have no motivation to read any more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Law & Order with a touch of SciFi
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020

A really fun read. More twists and turns than a box full of worms😃 The prose is so spot on descriptive that it is easy to relate to most of the situations. Especially the challenge of an older guy stuck in the role of trying to protect a hip young fiancee and her rich pampered friends. If you've ever read a Cozy mystery this will remind you of that genre.

“I’m not here to prove anything to you, Sheriff. I’m here for the people out there.”
I liked Galactic Law #1 very much! The combination of detective-like mystery, intrigue, normal no héroe rookie, and SciFi is excellent. A different and refreshing story, it pulled me in from the beginning, the tempo starts with a fine pace, building up with an intriguing storyline, charismatic characters, some of them very odd, and a fabulous world building. Just when you think you have figured everything out … nothing is as it seems. It’s tense, taut and reads like you're trying to catch your breath as the authors pile mystery on top of intrigue and serves with a perfect slice of humor. This is a fast paced thriller with believable events, a couple of twists that you never see coming, and an ending that will make you want to read the next book immediately! A well co-written book. We have a new Space Cowboy! I’m definitely going to follow this new series!

Chaney and Aaron do a great job making a gritty frontier space station full of interesting characters and a trainee cop MC fighting for justice.
Space cop drama isn't by usual reading but both authors make this a must read.
