Classic scifi parody - which means it is the book equivalent of a B movie that can be really funny， really bad， or so bad it is funny and ends up on MST3000。 The way this one started I was worried it might be the latter category， but it surprised me by being a genuinely funny book with a well thought out plot。 Now don't get me wrong， every trope you expect from the genre is in there and there were times I was calling play by play on scenes， but just as many other times that I was totally taken b Classic scifi parody - which means it is the book equivalent of a B movie that can be really funny， really bad， or so bad it is funny and ends up on MST3000。 The way this one started I was worried it might be the latter category， but it surprised me by being a genuinely funny book with a well thought out plot。 Now don't get me wrong， every trope you expect from the genre is in there and there were times I was calling play by play on scenes， but just as many other times that I was totally taken by surprise。 Overall， it is an excellent blend of the comfortable story you expect with enough originality， scene stealing characters， and well thought out plot twists that it really works。 Even if some of the aliens seem like they were designed by a deranged kid building creatures Spore was never meant to spawn。First book in a series， the major conflict was completely resolved， but the characters were thrown straight into another catastrophe that they seem well equipped to handle - hopefully。 Fast， entertaining read。 Looking forward to more from this author！ 。。。more

I literally laughed out loud at parts of this。 You can’t help but feel bad for the predicament poor Leo finds himself in， but you root for him nonetheless。 Everyone hates him because he’s the Human but he gets thrusted into a position of authority he didn’t want and is sabotaged at every turn- with twists I didn’t see coming！ The characters were so much fun and I can’t wait to find out what happens next cruise！ It’s such a good read！ I’m not even a syfy type person but I LOVED every page of this I literally laughed out loud at parts of this。 You can’t help but feel bad for the predicament poor Leo finds himself in， but you root for him nonetheless。 Everyone hates him because he’s the Human but he gets thrusted into a position of authority he didn’t want and is sabotaged at every turn- with twists I didn’t see coming！ The characters were so much fun and I can’t wait to find out what happens next cruise！ It’s such a good read！ I’m not even a syfy type person but I LOVED every page of this！ 。。。more
