Didn't Miller's hat tip you off?"This is familiar...", "Is this THAT novel series?!?!", "No it couldn't be!", "Maybe...", "Oh damn! It is!". Even thought at one point: "Remake of Babelon 5? Is that Garibaldi?"
The book's are funny. There's a lot of real grim & heavy material in them, but they come off as light because the characters are so lovable and they speak mostly in one-liners.I also think it's a little to gritty a la BSG (2004), I always thought of it as a bit more babylon 5 smoothness...
