Publisher's summary

Sex – Spaceships – Smashing Heads

Having finally scrounged up enough bits to get himself a ship, Bartholomew "Barty D" Duke is ready to launch himself and his main squeeze P’riti into a life of freedom and adventure.

Of course, nothing good comes easy in a dog-eat-dog galaxy, and before their thrilling interstellar adventure can so much as leave the ground, things start to go sidewise.

Kicking off a serial of galactic proportions, the first Let’s Be Bad Guys sees our heroes shooting, looting, and rooting their way to a better life among the stars in a universe that runs on as much game logic as it does blood, sex, and cold hard cash.

Spaceships sex and body humor 18 plus

This is an 18 plus book this is one of those little bit lit harem A guy down on his luck gets a ship And things get interesting from there be aware there is some swearing And bathroom humor there is Sex little on the graphic sideBut if you like that swift stuff This is a really good book

Space LitRPG

I received this book for free and all of my opinions are my own.

The main character is traveling through space and meets different species of aliens. He initially tries to be a good person, but this causes some trouble, so he decides to become a bad guy, hence the title. He has some sassy crewmembers like an AI that seems more intent on causing trouble then helping. As a dashing captain he meets several women and they all willingly form a harem over the three volumes. There are some adult scenes so be aware of that.

I found this book to be humorous. The author has different species of space aliens, but they have standard fantasy analogs. For example, Space Orks are called Sporks. Space Elves have a normal name but are sometimes referred to as spelvs, and so on. The Rogue AI has a few funny quips, but it was funniest when the Captain rebutted a snarky comment and the AI annoyedly concedes the point.

There were some LitRPG sections like reading out stats and so forth but it wasn't over the top. The narrator did a good job with the voices. The author had a few action scenes, but occasionally the author would tell rather than show. Like when there are space orcs destroying things or exploding to achieve a goal, but you are told the after effects instead of one of the characters witnessing it so you can see it through their eyes.

Overall I found this to be an enjoyable read.

Volumes 1-3 of an interesting series!

Zachariah Dracoulis writes an interesting series wherein Bartholomew ‘Barty D’ Duke travel through a game-like reality and space itself to become intergalactically renowned rogues. This boxset includes volumes 1-3. Overall the MC is what you'd expect, the supporting characters are exciting and more than warmth in space, and the overall story is engaging. I look forward to see what Zachariah releases next! Audio Version: Joshua MacRae does a good job with this title, the narration, and characters overall.

better then expected

this has good humor and decent action. i like the litrpg aspect aswell. this series is something you can put on when you want something not to serious but is still written and narrated well. if your really into space pirates and dirty scenes, you might rate this higher then me. id put it at maybe a 3.5, it was alittle slow at drawing me in but it did get better and i would continue this series when more is put out.

pretty good

Let's be bad guys is a pretty good short series. I enjoyed this book, it surely was entertaining. I finished this book pretty fast, and I'm not disappointed with how this book ended.



the Narration is pretty good, Joshua has alot of different voices. he doesn't have a particularly annoying voice, overall he's pretty good.



I think the mc was written pretty well, I like the supporting characters. the premise is also really good, I do think some of this book could've been executed better, but overall I like it.

I liked it.

Really enjoyed this very short adventure. Good action, the right amount of gratuitous violence and the women…don’t even get me started on them.

Pretty Good

I was given this book as a free gift. I must say I was pleasantly surprised and I thought it was better than most of the books in this genre. I do wish the author gave a little more backstory but that is a personal thing. Very interesting story, good characters, and pretty interesting MC. Interested in Book 2.
