Space Clown

A Humorous Sci-Fi Adventure

De: John Triptych

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The Galactic Empire is missing its most precious resource: a sense of humor.

Dax Bidet is just another unemployed, thirty-something slacker still living with his parents. Along with his best friend Buck, he spends his days making pranks and uploading them to social media.

But things are about to take a drastic turn.

When Dax and Buck are mistakenly abducted by aliens, they soon find themselves in a teeming galaxy sliding towards war. The only way to keep the peace is to regale the rebellious planets with… comedy.

Dax has just been given the unenviable title of space clown. He has to figure out what the myriad of various races consider to be humorous and get a laugh out of them.

Yet there are many within the Empire who would love to see him fail. They have space fleets, armies of assassins, and planet-destroying super weapons at their disposal.

Looks like Dax has his work cut out.

nothing

virtual voice is awful, like listening to a drawing fan. no more words needed. worst part I have to say it in 15 words or more. I wanted to go with "VV sucks"!

Funny

Campy and funny with cute ways of getting around copyright infringement that still make the jokes work. An awful lot of potty humor and poking fun of its own poor writing, but the story still manages amuse. The inability of the artificial reader to render things like "BZT-BZT" as the onomatopoeia most likely intended does spoil some of some jokes. I would still say its worth listening to though.

couldnt get into the story

virtual reader was really bad! no intonation. no emotion. all the mistakes made it so i just couldnt let myself flow into the story. maybe if the author can get someone to read this i may try again.
