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.

Well, I didn’t shoot anything out of my nose, but I did chuckle a couple of times. Frankly, I read it at the beach and I don’t remember much of the plot or characters. Mindless entertainment
Mildly amusing
Just laughed out loud at so many of the situations.
One Day I’ll be able to read the sequels.
Tries to be funny and many times succeeds. Story is far fetched but works.
Light funny read.
A great read. Not too serious, very funny!
Funny
Lots of fun!
Disc world, Zanth, Callahan’s Bar, now space team!
Just not the sci-fi I was wanting. I couldn’t even get started on the storyline.
Would be good for any age group. No profanity no sex yea. Quick read. I have started the second book and it is just as good.
A little bit in the vein of Doug Adams. Witty, sarcastic, Cal is a great character. A fast and amusing series.
It was one of the most creative space stories I have ever read
A great read!
the first one was like a black hole it sucked me in until I had read all of them
Kinda nuts! The main character is annoying, but in a way that keeps you wanting to know what he will do next. So you are kind of annoying yourself…
Not exactly funny, but a warped version of scifi. Quite entertaining
Awesome!
If you don’t want to be serious this is for you.
