Publisher's summary

The galaxy just called for help. Unfortunately, the wrong man answered.

When small-time con man Cal Carver is thrown in jail and forced to share a cell with a semi-naked, cannibalistic serial killer, he's pretty sure his day can't get any worse. Boy, is he wrong. It isn't until two-thirds of the human race is wiped out and Cal is mistakenly abducted by aliens that things really start to go downhill.

Whisked across the galaxy, Cal is forced into a team of some of the sector's most notorious villains and scumbags and tasked with delivering a package to a warlord-run solar system where the authorities daren't venture. The mission should be simple enough, but as one screwup leads to another the ragtag group of unwitting heroes find themselves in a frantic battle to save an entire alien civilization - and its god - from total annihilation.

Harris, Richard Rohan, Nora Achrati, Colleen Delany, David Zitney, and Michael John Casey.

Graphic Audio is awesome

They really knocked it out of the park with this one! Absolutely amazing job and a hilarious SciFi story to boot.

I Funking Love this series.

This is a great, and I repeat great dramatized adaptation. Graphic Audio does an amazing job as always. The way the author makes the characters personalities is just plain brilliance in my opinion. I definitely recommend this book or this adaptation of it to any sci-fi lover or anyone just looking for a great story.

Seriously funny

Not what I usually listen to but I’m so glad I downloaded it. I have some really good laughs. Would definitely recommend if you want a space comedy.

so much fun!

Very Douglas Adams - like. Hilarious and well written. I will certainly be listening to this one again.

This is one of my favourite comedy sci-fi series

Audible, this is ridiculous!!! I just wanted to rate this book and not write a review. Having to write reviews in order to rate has prevented me from rating at all. I just want to give props to enjoyable reads . I will just copy and paste this "review" going forward.

fun story

love the dramatization of the story. Enjoyed it would recommend to anyone that likes sci-fi comedy genre.

Excellent Graphic Audio Book!

This was my first graphic audio book. I have done other audio books and no offense to the narrators who have an incredibly difficult job of trying to speak clearly and at a reasonable pace, but hearing the same person trying to make up different voices for different characters is at times laughable. What makes it worse is when you have in your mind what a favorite character sounds like and the narrator's impression doesn't come close. Graphic audio books with a large cast of voice actors and sound effects (nice to hear foley artists at work) makes everything so much more enjoyable.
This particular series has a great story line, the main characters, especially Cal Carver, are wonderfully detailed and very 3-dimensional. Very few things can make me laugh out loud and fortunately I listen to these when I am making long road trips by myself as this series has me laughing a lot! I am currently on the third book in the series and hope that there are a lot to follow!

Not just Underrated - Space Underrated

Do yourself a favor and get hooked on this team of misfit aliens, including the human, but especially the Splurt. I'm currently on the 11th Adventure after only a month. Seriously, I think this series is making me develop some kind of Space mental illness. It's awesome.

THIS IS AWESOME!

I loved this series and I had hoped that one day they might make it into a TV show. Graphic Audio made my dream come true. I can't wait for thr next episodes.

Not a clear replacement for the original.

So, they remade the stories with multiple voice actors and sound effects. My take?
Voices for Cal, Miz, narrator, and extras did good. Takes a bit getting used to after the original but you can get there.
Mech's voice on the other hand... I miss Phil Thron's version. like a lot. So much comedy in that voice...
Lauren's voice actress have the strong impression that she was reading the part, not acting the part. One could claim that as a militant alien that she would have that sorry of speech pattern.. but i still hate it.
The music at times was too loud and nearly drowns out the narrator (minus the one point on the story when that makes sense). Same thing goes for SFX. The QC guy on the volume control board needs to get their fonking ears checked..
