Misplaced Threats: Misplaced Humanity Chronicles by Alan ZimmMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Witty Space Opera with Heart...
Alan Zimm’s Misplaced Threats drops readers into a messy galactic future where corporate bigwigs and genetically modified hotshots are clinging to control. Sixty years after Earth ditched seventeen struggling colonies, things are a total dumpster fire—wars over scraps, corrupt systems, you name it. Then, boom: weird aliens show up out of nowhere—are they here to help or wreck everything? Zimm mixes doom-and-gloom with clever humor, following everyday folks—think scrappy small-business owners, over-it academics, and blue-collar hustlers—as they face the ultimate “pick your poison” moment: fight a crumbling dictatorship or cozy up to it and lose their souls.
The book nails this wild mix of goofy humor (yes, there’s a sassy supercomputer) and serious digs at greed and power. Sure, there’s a ton of moving parts—side quests galore—but the real magic is how regular folks band together when everything’s falling apart. Zimm keeps things snappy and fun, whether characters are dodging asteroid fights or shady corporate schemes. It’s chaos with a heart—proof that sometimes laughing through the apocalypse is the bravest move. Highly recommended.
