Why read it?
2 authors picked The Maiden Voyage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Galaxy Cruise is the first in a hilarious space opera series. Hart offers memorable characters and great world-building, with a charming plot and a lot of humor.
The hero, Captain Leo MacGavin, is the lone human surrounded by a variety of aliens on the space-based cruise ship, the WTF Americano Grande. As with his other books, Hart’s humor made me literally laugh out loud at times, while his story kept me guessing as to what could possibly go wrong next.
The entire cast is equally quirky and endearing; I especially loved the spider-like security chief, Marshmallow Hug Dilly Dilly…
A karaoke ace saving the world. A premise guaranteed to delight the most jaded soul. This adventure gave me hope. A promise that my time traveling pirates might find a place in this literary universe. A spark that one need be some stuff shirt physicist in order to gather a following of science fiction connoisseurs.
From Richard's list on science fiction for a good belly laugh.
