Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton is a fantastic science fiction novel that is a step up from the first one. It's two years after the first book and Mickey is settled into a life with Nasha. Mickey is tasked with retrieving the hidden bomb from the first book as the colony's anti-matter is running low. Unfortunately, this turns out to be more difficult than first thought. For this new mission, Mickey has to put together a team to retrieve the bomb whilst trying not to start a war with two insect hives.
With an engaging plot, this is a fast-paced fun book. Ashton's writing is easy going which moves the plot at a nice fluid pace.

If you enjoyed the first I think you'll enjoy this (I did!) I liked that the creepers got to be more of a character. Overall an easy, popcorny read.

Not as funny as the first, and I felt like Nasha was just yelling the whole book and Mickey was the voice of reason, which didn't work for me after how much I liked their relationship in the first book. It was a fun read with lots of good tension and surprises and I liked the ending.
