let me start by saying I bought book 3 before I was even finished with book 1! this is HILARIOUS, and the comedy flows with the story. I’m a huge fan of science fiction and this is a cross between the Airplane of Sci Fi stories, and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy if there was a lot more fighting. The really great thing about this series is that it doesn’t sacrifice the story for the sake of making you laugh. the comedy is intrinsic to the very real, very well thought out storyline. At times the humor is in your face and ridiculous, and other times it’s dry and sarcastic. There are a TON of great references to other books, movies, and TV shows that are some of the funniest elements of the books. Side note – it really helps if you’re kind if a geek and have watched and can remember a whole lot of trivial details of other IPs. I can see this one day being made into a brilliant movie series and I would be first in line for tickets if it ever is. I highly recommend the whole series for anyone who enjoys Sci Fi, but also really likes smart and silly comedy.
