King Boric the Implacable knows death comes to all great warriors. He just didn't expect it to be so damn fickle. Felled by an assassin's blade, he should be spending eternity carousing in the Hall of Avandoor. Instead, his spirit is bound to his decaying body by the enchanted sword of Brakslaagt. And unless he can hunt down the mysterious Lord Brand, who gave him the weapon so long ago, he is cursed to wander the earth forever as an undead wraith.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

When an exploratory ship accidentally travels back in time to Viking-age Scandinavia, the human race is given a second chance. Pursued by the power-hungry King Harald, the four surviving crew members join a ragtag band of Vikings as they pillage their way across Europe. To save humanity, they must somehow return to the stars.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Publisher's Summary
After interstellar con man Rex Nihilo hijacks a cargo freighter on a whim, he decides that he, and his long-suffering robot sidekick Sasha, have found their calling as space pirates. But when the ship's cargo turns out to be a cryogenically frozen religious fanatic who holds the secret to a vast galactic conspiracy, Rex and Sasha find themselves on the run from real pirates - as well as agents of the oppressive Malarchy, crazy space cultists, and the Ursa Minor mafia. If Rex is going to get out of this jam alive, he might just have to save the galaxy - again.
This edition of Aye, Robot also contains the complete audiobook, The Yanthus Prime Job.

Great Story with Bonus Novella, Recording needs review.
Another great story in the Rex Nihilo universe. Funny, fast-paced, and inventive. This audible version includes a bonus novella starring Pepper Melange. The recording does need to be re-edited. The quality is fine but there are several instances of repeated words and repeated sentences. These can be distracting and take you out of the moment.

Space!
What a fun story! I really enjoyed the continuing adventures of Rex Nihilo and Sasha. After listening to the first book and LOVING the narration by Kate Rudd I was initially disappointed with the narration from JD Ledford, but as the story went on it grew on me more. Though I still hope they get Rudd bak for the next book. Either way I'm looking forward to more space adventures with Rex and crew.

Fun, but not as good as the first
I loved the first book! The second is fun, with great narration, & new characters that I hope we hear me from. We also got some great character development at the end setting us up for the next book. Overall though, that's the thing, book two feels like a course correction & prep for what comes next.

Insanely funny.
This audiobook was full of chaotic ridiculousness, laugh out loud confusion, and comedic characters that make your eyes roll while smiling.
"Aye, Robot" is a crazy spacefaring adventure of pure comedy. While it is technically a sequel to "Starship Grifters" and still features the main characters, Sasha and Rex Nihilo, "Aye, Robot" doesn't really require listening to the first book in order to fully appreciate it. Laughter is the likely outcome either way.
The narrator for this audiobook is J.D Ledford and if she sounds a bit robotic at first, well, that's intentional; This story is told from the first person perspective of Sasha, Rex Nihilo's loyal but unappreciated robot sidekick. J.D Ledford's vocal range becomes more apparent and more impressive as the audiobook introduces more and more quarky characters; frustrated robots, drunken pirates, bug aliens, irritated old men, pious cult members, parrots...the list goes on. When you finally get to a bonus short story featuring a side character, Pepper, the strength of this narrator's talent is very obvious. There were a few instances of audio editing errors when a line is spoken twice, but these were easily ignored in light of everything else.
This audiobook is very highly recommended to anybody who needs a good clean laugh. There is no intellectual science fiction here. It's all goofy comedic gold centered around the insane antics of a theif, liar, and wannabe pirate in space.

Even better than the 1st
Very funny. Highly entertaining. If you're looking for some serious hard sci-fi that's certain to become a classic, thought provoking work of art then this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for some light sci-fi that is fairly predictable and makes you laugh out loud often then this is definitely the right choice. The humor is great, the writing solid, the narration is spot on. No complaints whatsoever.

Good, but different narrator
This is an excellent sequel in the Rex Nihilo series, but it is a different narrator. It's a good narrator, very similar to the first. but still jarring at first if you listen to them back -to-back. Put something else in between them and you might not notice.

narration ruined this book for me
Somehow the narrator has a score of 4.6 for this work, I strongly disagree with this. The narrator of the first book did a great job and i loved the performance and the story. Here we get a new narrator who tries to speak robotic, taking breaks after every 2 words. If even modern GPS systems can speak more fluent then this it is not even annoying but also unbelievable.
The story itself is still great and that part i enjoyed alot. I'm going to look for more work from this writer and hope narration is more to my taste.

Major narration downgrade from book 1.
Narration was not good. I couldn't get past the first chapter. Starship Gritters is one of my favorite audio books, going to have to read this one... I'm so disappointed.

Laugh out loud fun!
This book was so much fun! It was just fun from beginning to end. If you find yourself struggling with the beginning the only thing I can say is... you have a purpose and that is.... to BELIEVE IN THIS BOOK! Believe me listen to the book and you will understand this joke! 😂

THEY'RE BAaaaaaCK!!!
After a 3 year break, Rex and Sasha are at it again!
Rex decides to take a break from get-rich-quick schemes, double-dealing, double-crossing, theft, prison-breaks and the general mayhem and confusion that ensues and pursue a more rewarding and reputable career... piracy!
The new narrator, J.D. Ledford does a good job but I miss Kate Rudd's performance, from the first book.

Awesome escapism. Full of humor and science & fun
I bought the first one in this series, initially because I liked the artwork on the cover, i was pleasantly surprised by the fun and engaging storyline that Robert weaves throughout the books. The performance given by the narrator is nothing short of outstanding, and the commitment to the voices and characters makes this series more like watching a one person performance that reading a book. She's just incredibly good at the whole thing.
Highly recommended for some fun sci fi comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. But still has great characters and a well fleshed out universe.
