Publisher's Summary

Having journeyed through time in order to restore peace to the galaxy, Cal Carver and Space Team are a little dismayed to find out they may have inadvertently made things even worse...whoops. 

Captured by an unfamiliar alien species, the crew is banished to a life of slavery in the Mustard Mines of Moktar, where they come face to face with the sinister Manacle - a terrying new enemy whose diabolical agenda is worse than any they have encountered before. 

With the clock ticking and thousands of lives at stake, Space Team must race across the galaxy, stop Manacle's evil scheme, and save the day once more. 

But first, they have to escape....

Featuring space gnomes, sand stomachs, and the sexiest facial paralysis in history, Space Team: Sting of the Mustard Mines is the 10th explosive adventure in the Space Team series, and the perfect jumping-on point for new listeners.

Better and better each fonking book!

Hey look at that, im the first review. haha. Anyway, I have now tackled 10 Space Teams, 3 Deadman detective stories and 1 Sidekicks Initiative from Barry and I have to say all of them a freaking awesome. These are not only hilarious but really good stories to boot. Been loving every minute of them. Keep it up man!

Full of warm, gooey awesomeness

This was another great Space Team book! Story was fun and Phil does great giving each character their own personality! I’ve really enjoyed all the Space Team books, but having the bloopers at the end of the last few ones has made them even better! You can’t help but laugh when Phil messes up and starts laughing.

Hilarious!

You might think as the stories continue that the jokes would become too familiar and the books less humorous. Not so. Great stories, excellent performance, funny as ever if not more so!

Still amazing this many books in

Space Team continues to be one of the most hilarious, engaging, and beautifully narrated series I've ever read or listened to. Is it somewhat derivative with most elements a (maybe inadvertently) reflected in other storiea and media? Definitely. Does that actually matter or make the experience any less enjoyable? Definitely not.

But if you're here, you've already listened to the previous parts of the series. Just know that the fun continues and gets even better.

😂🤣🤣

I'm repairing some major water damage to my home, which is depressing, but Space Team continues to making me wet my pants and keep me sane. I can't listen in bed because I'll wake my wife up with snorts of laughter. The gags are getting better as the series goes on. Funking awesome.

great fun as always

another whirlwind crazy fonking adventure by the currently untitled crew. I love Cal repeating what Splurt has said to the others (he's gotten really good at it now) My favourite quote of this book is probably 'the elephant of surprise'

Funcking funny 😂

This is the funniest in the series so far! Mr Hutchinson the characters are just brilliant. I laughed out loud several times during this book, great fun. Where do you get the ideas from and I bet you just love writing Carl’s lines knowing that Mr Thron is going to have to laugh out loud.
Great story awaiting the next one👍😎

Mr Thron you have brought all these people to life (and in Cal’s case dead and back again again and so on). I really like them all thank you 😊. The out-takes are brilliant, as I heard you read the toilet scene I laughed and at the same time knowing that you would also and I was right. Brilliant.

Too silly to be funny

I gave up listening to this after chapter 6. it could have been funny but it goes too far past the limits of slapstick. The characters are so dumb it is just irritating.

hilarious, love the outtakes

The more of these stories I listen to the more like Terry Pratchett he sounds. I've just got to start the next in the series now, even though it's 02:50 on a Friday morning.

Just love it!

Keep these books coming. I love the story and the narrator is awesome. I laughed out loud regularly, insighting odd looks on a quiet train in rush hour. Lots of fun.
