Publisher's Summary

Featuring unexpected stabbings, maniacal puppets, and a dog with a head like a testicle, Space Team: The Hunt for Reduk Topa is the 12th book in the Space Team series, and the perfect jumping on point for new listeners.
 

Sick of the stress, aggravation, and multiple genocides they've had to put up with lately, accidental space hero Cal Carver and his crew set off to start a new life in a distant corner of the galaxy.
 

Six tedious days of warp-speed and board games later, they arrive in a sector filled with new hope, new opportunities, and new adventures. Too broke to take advantage of any of these things, they are forced to accept a series of increasingly demeaning jobs just to make ends meet.
 

When one such job leads them to the offices of a sector-wide TV network, Cal signs-up to star in smash-hit game show The Hunt, confident of winning the big cash prize.
 

What he fails to realize is that the show's premise involves him being chased and killed for the amusement of the viewing public and so Cal must run, fight, and occasionally beg for his life as he attempts to win the game, the money, and his freedom.
 

But in the entire history of the show, no competitor has ever survived The Hunt, and the network will stop at nothing to keep that record intact....
 

Space Team: The Hunt for Reduk Topa is the 12th book in the internationally best-selling series from award-winning author Barry J. Hutchison and perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Golden Girls.

MORE PLEASE

I love this series. Barry is hilarious and Phil Thron is the absolute best narrator.! the bloopers make me cry.

Another great adventure from Cal & the gang.

My favorite moment: When they come upon the little lawn gnome people and Miz says they look, "Delicious." I think Phil Thron's outtakes are wonderful! What a great idea. And my new favorite way to end a book. 🤣

Excellent space adventure!

I immediately related to the main character Cal, he is a perfect smart ass that is also somehow endearing. These books are mostly on the lighter side but have their moments of sadness and loss that really bring the storyline home. Great performance by Phil Thron, he has quickly become one of my favorite narrators.

They just get better each time.

There is no dip in this series. They are all home runs. This one doesn't disappoint. Phil Thron is a master on this series and quickly has shot into my top 5 narrators.

Hilariously Funny

Hilariously funny, uproariously irreverent, and super enjoyable. Unlike most series that tend to taper off after 3-4 installments, the Space Team series just keeps getting better and better. I remember thinking, “where could he be going with this,” with Splurt nearly six books ago and then he went through and explained all the Splurt stuff and still managed to make the little bamston one of the best characters in the series. “Redunk Topa,” a clever play on “The Hunt for Red October,” cleverly plays off of the plot of “The Running Man” (or the SPACE Running Man). It’s a story you’ve heard before, but never with this level of sass and backtalk. You’ll want to wash the books mouth out with soap and spank it for being so naughty. Just buy it. It’s awesome.

funniest one yet!

I love this series and it has yet to disappoint. very funny, some great twists, and Phil Thron gives another awesome performance

What a fun ride!

I love this series! Barry just keeps coming up with new antics for the team. Phil Thron and his many voices is great. The “voice bloopers” at the end are priceless... wish there was video clip... (listening Phil?). Keep bringing it Barry!

Never almost shot my drink through my nose from laughter so many times.

Yep. Never almost shot my drink through my nose from laughter so many times. Just do it.

LOL Funny!

Cal has found his fair share of trouble this time! The crew of the Currently Untitled embark on their most hilarious adventure yet.

End credits

The book is hilarious and I love the blooper reel at the end. I would probably buy an audio book of Phil's bloopers.

Wish I would end now

After 12 books the jokes are becoming the same, with a few new moments every now and then. It's just now got to the point where he's taking done before ideas and just doing that as a book. It's become a TV series with episodes that have no progression on the main story.

so funny

it's the 12th book in the series and at some stage you would think they are getting boring but I still giggle like I did with the first one and let's not forget the outtakes at the end they earn a extra mention

Best one yet!

This one was SO funny! Good work Barry - love you Phil! Cant wait for the next.

Brilliant just brilliant

You will laugh out loud, then when you hear the out takes you’ll laugh again.... brilliant

Written and narrated perfection, end + brilliant

When you get a brilliant writer with more wit than a sewer has shite and the aroma of smells that the brain comes alive with in its thoughts and pics. Then you get the skill of a narrative bringing it all together WOW. Barry and Phil I thank you, you are A massive breath of fresh air during these troubled times.😉

Bring on the next one asap please...!!!!

Yet again a wonderfully silly space romp, characters are all really well thought out, the plot is marvellously ridiculous and the jokes spot on. Phil Thron is the perfect, PERFECT narrator. Absolutely brilliant, cannot recommend this series enough :)

Its Just so good

one of the best series out there. start at book 1 laugh your way through.....and don't spare the space horses.

Brilliant- again

Yes Barry, another great adventure for the mighty Space Team not forgetting the superb narration by Mr Phil Thron . More please.

These just get funnier

the adverts on the planet they are on in this book almost made me crash my car. Warning, the one liners in this are killer.

Just Bloody Brilliant!

The fantastic mix of brilliant author and narrator have created these superb books. At book number 12, this for me is probably the best. it's hilarious but yet it still has a fantastic storyline. Phil Thron is as always, amazing. How he jumps from one character to another and makes you believe that he is the character, is so clever. I have never heard outtakes on an audiobook before and it is absolutely hysterical! This book has twists and turns like a whodunnit combined with flat out slapstick behaviour. it's perfect. if you want a good story that's going to make you smile or cry with laughter, this is your book 😀
