The Left Hand of Dog

Starship Teapot, Book 1

De: Si Clarke

Narrado por: Kay Eluvian

Escaping intergalactic kidnappers has never been quite so ridiculous. When Lem and her faithful dog, Spock, retreat from the city for a few days of hiking in Algonquin Park, the last thing they expect is to be kidnapped by aliens. No, scratch that. The last thing they expect is to be kidnapped by a bunch of strangely adorable intergalactic bounty hunters aboard a ship called the Teapot. After Lem falls in with an unlikely group of allies, the gang must devise a cunning plan to escape their captors and make it back home safely.

But things won't be as easy as they first seem. Lost in deep space and running out of fuel, this chaotic crew are faced with the daunting task of navigating an alien planet, breaking into a space station, and discovering the real reason they're all there. Packed with preposterous scenarios, quirky characters, and oodles of humor, The Left Hand of Dog tackles complex subjects such as gender, the need to belong, and the importance of honest communication. Perfect for fans of Charlie Jane Anders’ Victories Greater than Death and The Long Way to a Small Planet by Becky Chambers, especially ones who enjoy endless references to Red Dwarf, Star Trek, and Doctor Who. This book will show you that the universe is a very strange place indeed.

A mostly-chill adventure with unexpected friends.

A nice bit of positivity and fun with entertaining new characters. The insertion of ridiculous technobabble and names from famous sci-fi media was a nice, humorous touch I would not have expected to like, but ended up smiling at repeatedly.

Fun easy read

Chill fun easy read. I loved the various descriptions of humans as pork products, hilarious

Funny and Unique Book

This is a fantastic new take on Space Opera. A nice variety of characters with real “people” problems
