Why did Jen love this book?
Sometimes, a pithy, thought-provoking novel with an ending I never saw coming is what I’m looking for, but other times I really just want a rollicking space comedy, and Starship Repo sure delivers.
Set in a universe where humans are a novelty and giant space crabs, sentient boulders, and creatures made up of a collective of autonomous organs are the norm, everything is alien yet it’s a shockingly familiar tale of a group of lovable, misfit, almost-criminals walking the fine line of the law. The humor is a little crude, but I laughed out loud more than once.
1 author picked Starship Repo as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Starship Repo is a fast-paced romp through the galaxy from Patrick S. Tomlinson.
Firstname Lastname is a no one with nowhere to go. With a name that is the result of an unfortunate clerical error and destined to be one of the only humans on an alien space station. That is until she sneaks aboard a ship and joins up with a crew of repomen (they are definitely not pirates).
Now she's traveling the galaxy "recovering" ships. What could go wrong?
