Publisher's summary

A laugh-out-loud, action-packed space adventure series from the author critics are calling "the unholy offspring of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett".

When petty criminal Cal Carver is locked in a cell with a deranged, semi-naked cannibal, he suspects his life has hit its lowest point. He is mistaken.

Abducted by aliens and whisked across the galaxy, Cal is thrown into a team of misfits and criminals and sent on a top secret mission for the president of Space. And that's when everything starts to go very, very wrong....

This bundle collects the first three best-selling adventures of Cal Carver and the crew of the dread ship Shatner, by multi-award-winning author Barry J. Hutchison:

  • Space Team
  • Space Team: The Wrath of Vajazzle
  • Space Team: The Search for Splurt

So very funny

I’ve read the entire Space Team series a few times and am now making my way through the audio books. Phil Thron is an absolute gem as a reader, and Barry’s writing never disappoints. These will always be some of my favorite funny sci fi tales.

Great appetizer between more denser experiences.

Solid 4 star junk food series. I loved it!

I wrote individual reviews for the first two books on goodreads. Those were solid 4 star entertainment. Definetly a fun episodic silly TV show feel to every book so far. The writing had been amazing for the first two books due to great character writing and action focused plots. World building could use more work though, i felt the scope was zoomed in too much at times and I kinda didn't really know how the universe operated as much as I wish I did to give some more context to what's going on.

The 3rd book was no different, another enjoyable 4 star read. It's funny, high camp and moved a plot along in a way that it never feels like it drags.

Nothing particularly masterful about any of what is going on but I don't think the book is trying to be, it's definetly a yummy appetizer type of book that can be read in between those more denser experiences.

I'm definitely eager to get into the rest of the series and casually follow along to what next adventure this crew gets into.

Laugh out loud

A great genre-aware send-up of space opera fiction. A fine cast of characters with plenty of failings each and action sprinkled throughout. No overpowered characters here, all leaning on each other despite distrust and snarky banter. Wrapped up with feel good endings, this is a solid choice for fun.

Great entertainment!

Fun characters! Was thinking about how I wanted to buy the next book (4), but at the last moment a new character was introduced and, I’m ok. I’m in no rush if he/it is now a part of it. I really enjoyed these three.

Laugh out loud fun!

This beginning series has me hooked. If you're looking for a great space adventure with some rip roaring fun, this is it. The character development, along with the excellent narration of Phil Thron, brings the story to life. I have such a vivid idea of how each character looks and the outrageous circumstances they find themselves in.
This is the first time I'd listened to a Hutchison story, and heard Thron narrate. I can't express enough how happy I am to have found them and will definitely be moving on to the sequels.
