Cosmic Delivery Boy

Cosmic Delivery Boy, Book 1

By: L.G. Estrella

Narrated by: Matt Cowlrick

Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins

Publisher's summary

Simon is the best delivery boy that Mr Edwards’s restaurant has ever had. He’s on time every time, and he’s gotten nothing but good reviews. But he needs more money.

His mother’s medical treatment won’t pay for itself, and his father is already working three jobs to try to make ends meet. But it might just be his lucky day: Mr. Edwards has another job for him.

It’s more delivery work, but not the usual kind. You might even say that it’s out of this world. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, and the pay is fantastic.

Of course, it’s not going to be easy, and he does have to keep the whole thing secret. But come hell or high water, Simon is going to get the job done. It doesn’t matter if it’s warring demons, angry tree-folk, or ornery artificial intelligence, nothing is going to stop him from making his deliveries.

He’s not a normal delivery boy anymore—he’s a cosmic delivery boy.

Great beginning to what I hope is a continuing series

What a wonderful story from an author that I have loved since their first necromancies book. It is nice to hear how “awesome the elves are” and tales of “a dragon who is being raised by a fire elf that is also amazing”.

Good fun!

I love L.G. Estrella's work. He has an interesting tak on things and his stories are always enjoyable. The Unconventional Heroes series is still my favorite, but this is a fun story too :-)

Very enjoyable.

A nice listen for all ages. I am looking forward to listening to the next installment.

Surprisingly Entertaining!

Edit: I just re-read the Audible entry for this title and it was under Sci-Fi / Humorous. When I wrote the review I missed that little point. I need to lean to read better! :-) Being in this category, it is spot on and my review still stands as it is a really fun read, which was the point all along. :-D

Review:
This is a tough review for me as I am really a hard Sci-Fi guy and not into fantasy stories. Then there is this book. At first it was Sci-Fi, then it became silly Sci-Fi with fantasy thrown in and mixed well. When it got a little silly, I thought I wouldn't like it but I soon found it was really fun! You have to TOTALLY suspend disbelief on the same level of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but when you do it is a really entertaining listen. Also, the narration is really top notch. I really look forward to another in the series.

Bottom line: Get this book and set your mind to a fun read. 🙂

I really liked the story 4.5

I kept thinking of Buck Rogers for some reason even though this had nothing to do with it. I think it was the same flavor if that makes any sense? Anyway, it was a fun read/listen. Most enjoyable. I really liked all of his adventures and making the giennie pig the most powerful entity in the universe was hilarious.

Over the top, but in a fun way

Doesn't take itself remotely seriously, everything is so far out of scale you give up thinking and just go with it.

I would love to see this cross with other works if Timmy ever ordered something from the company.

I liked the premise but

I like the premise but the execution not so much. Maybe I’m just too old.

not sure why I didn't like it better

Clever and well narrated. I just didn't find myself unable to put it down. Perhaps it was bec I had recently listened to the same author (Necromancers) or bec it has long "war" scenes with changes in different weapons? Very fun premise and hilarious at times. Light listen.

Hilarious!!

Lovable characters, laugh out loud moments, sarcasm.. I really want to know what happens next.

fantastic!

I really enjoyed the complex world building in this book and the main character is so wholesome!
