Summary

A hilarious, fast-paced space adventure from the author the Independent calls "the new Terry Pratchett".

Cal Carver is having a bad day. Imprisoned and forced to share a cell with a cannibalistic serial killer, Cal thinks things can't possibly get any worse.

He is wrong.

It's not until two-thirds of the human race is wiped out and Cal is abducted by aliens that his day really starts to go downhill.

Whisked across the galaxy, Cal is thrown into a team of some of the sector's most notorious villains and scumbags. Their mission should be simple enough, but as one screw-up leads to another, they find themselves in a frantic battle to save an entire alien civilization - and its god - from total annihilation.

Fun times in space

This was a very entertaining listen. The story was a lot of fun. I found myself laughing out loud many times, which is never a good thing when you're traveling on a busy train.

Funking good read

Well written & read, I would say closer to the style of Douglas Adams than Mr Pratchett. A good story with some goods laughs (some out loud chuckles). I for one will be reading more in the series.

Update. September 2020
The whole series is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, do yourselves a favour and read/listen to them all.

Best Sci fi story I've heard in ages!

Very well written and narrated - consistent and simply a joy. A bit like guardians of the galaxy but in my view this is better.

it is a bit lightweight but fun.

Guardians of the galaxy lite. If the other books come as a group offer I would buy them, but not as 8 individual purchases. entertaining enough but a touch simplistic and not a patch on the "will save the galaxy" series.

A decent lark but never really gripping.

The story is short and fairly basic. The twists are what you expect and none of the characters are really outstanding. I'd say it's a distinctly above average book.

The thing is it never feels like you're sucked in to the story, it's more like a tv show you have on in the background. You vaguely care what happens but not really. None of the characters are that compelling. The story doesn't grip you.

It's quite fun overall but a strong meh for me.

(P.S. The silences at the end of chapters are super long. Just roll with it.)

Children’s Book

I tried to get through this - I really tried. But this isn’t an adult book. It’s meant for pre-teens. It’s level is akin to that of Matilda by Roald Dahl. Albeit Matilda is a much much better book. The main character is somewhat pathetic and doesn’t miss an opportunity to put his foot into an obvious joke. If you’re between 12 & 16 yrs old. You’ll probably love this book.

Fun in a way, but definitely not Pratchett

I would be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy the book, it is extremely well read and the dialogue between the characters is pretty funny.

However, the story is shallow and to compare it to Pratchett is close to false advertising. It lacks both the nuance and intelligent, but subtle commentary on humanity. The only similarity is the fantastical nature of the world, story and characters.

I would probably have listened to the entire series, but using Terry Pratchett as a comparison has just shown me how much is lacking, which is rather sad really.

Mindless but enjoyable

If you want something to keep you amused but not requiring you to think too hard. Get this. Narrator does a great job

Hailed as new Pratchett, hah dream on!

Misleading review lead me to buy this book. Waste of audible credit. It's slightly amusing but I didn't finish it. Plus once I found I could read the series on kindle unlimited for free I did its slightly more enjoyable to read than in audible form.
But a new Pratchett what was that reviewer thinking.
