As you can tell, this is written in humorous style.
After all; the main character is a toilet cleaner(human), in a world of robots and augs.
In space! Where mistakes tend to be terminal.

Rygar grinned, “Augs are no longer the future man. We’re the present. You and the others who refuse to get augments are a dying breed. Give it another five years, and I promise you, even babies are going to be born with augs aleady implanted.”.

Above from page 21, of 337 pages.

[I’ll come back when finished, to see if it panned out to its promise.]

Does the use of the words ‘augs’ mean augmentations?

#3

Yes.
Reflection of society today, and if “they” had “their way”;
the future perfect tense - of man.
Which is past FUBAR, and way too fast approaching.

Finished Space Brooms and its a C+.
Also Finished: Sunken Spaceship, Terminal Pursuit, and Final Crucible by Anthony J Melchiorri.
Liked the idea of a marine biologist who trades places with an alien pilot, and goes out on a galactic adventure - with his best friend, his dog.
Another C+ series.
New Rogue Sequence by Zac Topping - was a solid B. It’s about genetically engineered soldiers, for hire by whoever can afford their services.
Looking forward to the next in the series, Ghost Cell[due out in July]
Now reading the best of my recent books; The Coming Dark, by D. J. Molles.
“Trained from the age of 10 to deal violence. The Deathbringers take their oath seriously: Protect the weak, and foster the evolution of good.”. The narrator, the 10 year old, now twenty was kicked out days from being graduated into the ranks.
Now, he must become a normie, perhaps a cook, farmer, or the like.
This is your life now. Work your job. Pop into a cafe for coffee and a pastry. Get soft. Be useless.
Never be in a Warshell again. Never do an Orbital Drop Insertion. Neverr protect the universe from evil.

So far, it’s been stellar. It’s 580 pages, and I’m at page 77.
