I can't quite categorize this novel; it's a space opera, but it's a lot more. It has a surreal flavor somewhat akin to William Gibson's.
I'm not sure any of the characters are sane, though.
Given what is going on all around them, that's probably not too surprising.

From back cover: Flanagan (who, for want of a better word, is a pirate) has a plan.

The plan, at first, seems simple. Kidnap the Cheo's daughter, demand a vast ransom for her safe return, sit back and wait.
Only the Cheo, despotic ruler of the known universe isn't playing ball.
Flanagan and his crew have seen this before, of course,
but since they've learned a few tricks from the bad old days, and since they know something about Lena that should make the plan foolproof, the Cheo's defiance is a major setback.
It is a situation that calls for extreme measures.
Luckily, Flanagan has considerable experience in this area.

DEBATABLE SPACE is a space opera of extraordinary imagination, and a brilliantly plotted novel of revenge.
