Is this profound? No. Is it an iteration of well-known tropes like the Lovable Rogue and the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits? Yup. Was it entertaining as all get-out? Fonk yes!

My opinion is that there's nothing new under the sun, but if you use established elements with talent and skill, they still provide satisfying stories (heck, that's WHY they're so well established, right?).

I laughed out loud a lot, and really got invested in this team - ah, this SPACE team - and their success. The characters are well drawn, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and very clear voices. And yet there's plenty of room for more development of the characters, so I'm keen to read on in the series.

If you like Galaxy Quest, Psych, Hitchiker's Guide, Guardians of the Galaxy, or heck, even Brooklyn 99, check this out!

(Oh and I got the audio version as well, and Phil Thron is my new favorite narrator!)
