Praise for Space Team:“Laughed so hard I shot coffee out my nose.”“If all scifi was like this, everyone would be reading it.”“This book is so good you might punch yourself in the face.”Cal Carver thinks his life has hit rock bottom.When the small-time conman finds himself imprisoned and forced to share a cell with a semi-naked cannibalistic serial killer, he’s pretty sure his day can’t get any … killer, he’s pretty sure his day can’t get any worse.
He is 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 thrown 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 dare not venture.
The mission should be simple enough, but as one screw-up 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.
Featuring epic space battles, unforgettable characters, and a shapeshifting blob with the face of Tobey Maguire, Space Team is the first book in the internationally bestselling series by award-winning author, Barry J. Hutchison, and is perfect for fans of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Galaxy Quest, Guardians of the Galaxy, and pretty much anything else with the word ‘Galaxy’ in the title.
Except maybe Samsung’s Galaxy S series, which is a range of mobile phones, and so not really similar.

Great read!
Half way thru it & it barely holds my interest. I don’t find much humor in it.
Fast moving and fun, reminded me of Keith Laumer, and the cheesier episodes of the original Star Trek. The bickering team of misfits echoes Guardians of the Galaxy, but “Sexy Chewbacca” is an original. Impossible to take seriously, but easy to like.
Really enjoyed this book. Liked the characters and the storyline.
LOL Funny!
the book is hilarious
I Laughed a lot
This is a decent book for young people. It is easy to read, and interesting enough to continue to read, but it is not a deep book, filled with meaning.
Lightweight
Fun, light reading. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. There are several more in the series, but I don’t love it enough to buy more.
Ok but repetitious jokes. Would have been better in novella or short story length.
To cute by half.
Light space opera reading. Not a bad read, but quick and simple. No huge plot twists or surprises, but entertaining.
If you like Guardians of the Galaxy you will be amused by this book, as it has almost the exact same “team” and plot elements. Fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, no heavy lifting.
I have not finished the store yet,but so far it is funny as hell and seems to have a bang bang space cowboy them to it.
