|summary=Life for a retired mercenary does not come any better than being the manager of a prestigious house of ill repute. Koko loves her life and her job, but once she kills a couple of her patrons everything is turned upside down. 'Koko takes a Holiday' is action packed and humorous pulp science fiction at its best.

Pulp science fiction is not as easy a genre to carry off as you may think; it takes more than just a voluptuous catsuit-wearing alien firing off laser cannons (but that can only help). Pulp is often just that; pulp. It should be shredded and used to soak up the juices in landfill, but when it is done right, it can be excellent. When someone writes a book that is darkly funny, intelligent and a little ultraviolent, you may just have the perfect mix. A perfect mix called ‘Koko Takes a Holiday’, by Kieran Shea.
