THEY WERE THE TOUGHEST, DEADLIEST MERCENARIES IN THAT PART OF THE GALAXY...
AND THEY'D BEEN DOUBLE-CROSSED!
Celadon, a poor nation on a poor planet, engaged in civil war and a haven for every type of villainy in space, is ripe for cleanup. The military could pacify it handily, but it would take a statesman to fix it.
But statesmen have ethics, which politicians and megacorps find inconvenient. Celadon's President Bishwanath compounded the sin by being astute, ambitious and capable. Something had to be done, because a working nation isn't much use for pork and graft.
When the word comes down to replace him, the politicians move on with a new plan, reallocating resources, and finding a more pliable president to put in place.
There are three problems with this solution. Bishwanath does not want to be replaced. His mercenary bodyguards are more loyal than the politicians. And if they're not on contract—there are no rules.

Forsyth's "The Dogs of War", with spaceships.
By Oakree Kuchenbacker
"Better to Beg Forgiveness" isn't a bad book, but with a few minor changes it could have been released as a conventional action-adventure story back in the 60's.
Tell me if this sounds familiar: a small team of crack mercenaries is hired to protect the UN-backed puppet president of a poor African nation wracked by tribal warfare. Every level of the government, from township mayors right up to the UN representatives, is filled with corrupt, opportunistic politicians more concerned with their own agendas than creating a functioning nation. The tight-knit, upright members of the mercenary team do their best to protect their assigned subject, but they're experts in tactical warfare, not the political kind. So they're forced to rely on their wits and their guns when things fall apart and their very much alive client is declared dead by the powers that be.
That's pretty much the set-up for "Better to Beg Forgiveness", but with a poor, African-settled colony world standing in for the generic African nation that would have been used in the 60's. Oh, and instead of having to spirit the President across the Atlantic to New York City the mercs have to spirit him across the galaxy. On a tramp freighter. With a plucky crew that grudgingly comes to respect the heavily armed professional killers that have hijacked their ship.
Yeah, I'm being snarky, but the overall plot of the book really is that generic.
On the other hand, Mr. Williamson is obviously well acquainted with the ins and outs of executive protection and has embraced the adage to write what you know. His depictions of small scale fights and running gun battles are extremely entertaining and well-written. That's a good thing, since about half the book consists of fight scenes, but after a while the small unit actions started to blur together. Things zip along so quickly that it's impossible for even the most ADD afflicted reader to get bored, but I was left wishing the author had given both the characters and me a bit more downtime.
If you like military fiction with an emphasis on non-stop action you're going to love this book, but if you're looking for a fix of sci-fi I think you're going to be disappointed. The science-fictional concepts and worldbuilding are just a thin veneer over a story that concentrates on delivering a "non-stop thrill ride". In that respect it delivers in spades.

Decent - but I expected more from Michael Williamson
By Vagabond Girl
Have read several other books by Williamson, and have enjoyed them. When I ordered this new book, I expected more of the same. Well - there is a difference between grilled porterhouse steak and grilled sirloin tip steak, and all that one has to do is to experience it - that is, in this case, read them. It had a lot of the elements that I enjoy about science fiction - but it seemed to lack that illuminating spark that sets really good books apart from the crowd. In my life - retired and over 65 - I have read thousands of books - and a lot of them science fiction. This is a good book, and as such it deserves to be read - but the situation Michael postulated here could have had some very more interesting and intriguingly thought provoking ideas. I gave it 4 stars, since I could not rate it 3 stars in deference to many other books that I've read - or started to read, anyway. Michael, lets hope your forthcoming books regain their former piquancy.

First-rate Military-ish SF
By Chris Chittleborough
This is first-rate military-ish science fiction. (I say "military-ish" because the story revolves around a small mercenary team who don't have the advantages or disadvantages that come with being part of a regular military structure.)
This is also a novel about peacekeeping and nation-building. It gives a much better picture than news media reports of the astonishing range and depth of problems faced by people trying to build civil societies in poor countries.
First and foremost, though, this novel is a fun read: strong characters, fast-paced action, flashes of humor. Strongly recommended.
