Publisher's summary

The hero of Will Save the Galaxy for Cash returns to do what he does best. Which is - what again, exactly?

With the age of heroic star pilots and galactic villains completely killed by quantum teleportation, the ex-star pilot currently named Dashford Pierce is struggling to find his identity in a changing universe.

Then, a face from his past returns and makes him an offer he can't refuse: take part in just one teeny weeny, slightly illegal, daring heist, and not only will he have the means to start the new life he craves, but also save his childhood hero from certain death.

How hard could that be? If you need to ask - you don’t know Dashford Pierce.

Before long, Pierce is surrounded by peril, and forced to partner with the very same supervillains he'd spent his heroic career thwarting. But when he's confronted by the uncomfortable truth that star pilots might not have been the force for good they had intended to be, he begins to wonder if the villains hadn't had the right idea all along....

unexpected sequel, great experience

Great sequel. First timers beware, as prior reading of "Will save the Galaxy for food" is almost mandatory if you want to follow every plot thread.

Yahtzee recapture his original characters voices so well it's like we parted a mere week ago, not 2 years. His storytelling and metaphor-oriented description of every little details amuses me to no end but your mileage may vary.

Definite recommendation from me. Some spoilery critic below.

[spoilery critic start]
NotMcKeowns crew really have bonded well over the course of the story and I am a bit sad to know that we might not see them together in the sequel.

The place where we leave notMcKeown isn't very satisfying but it is obviously because there is still a mystery to be solved.

Excellent

An excellent space adventure. Great sequel that gets to play around with its sci-fi concepts and the excellent worldbuilding that was laid down before. Funny, clever and great. And the author's voice really brings it all to life. "Wait is this a heist?"

I enjoyed it

I love the writing, characters and turns of the story. Great fun! The ending didn’t seem to fit though. All the character motivations seem to evaporate. It is still a great book and very entertaining.

Love Yahtzee and this new installment

The sequel to "Will Save the Galaxy for Food" didn't disappoint, and further delved into the world and characters and how they'd react to a changing world. Very much enjoyed Yahtzee's narration and dry delivery, and the ending was simultaneously satisfying and hinting at an interesting angle for another sequel.

Found out it was 2nd book after 2/3 of listening.

This book was written so smoothly that I could understand what was going on from the start. it wasn't until much further in into the book that I realized it was a sequel. I still thoroughly enjoyed it and I am excited to see how events in the 1st book play out. Plus Yahtzee's narration is very captivating. No one can read out words exactly as the author intended other then the ones who wrote it themselves. Highly recommend if you've read the first or even if you haven't.

Who is Jacques McKeown?

In this intense, hilarious second entry to the Jaques McKeown series, more questions are raised and some are answered.

Better than the first, with Yahtzee making clear progress as an author and a narrator, this novel will leave you both satisfied with the story and craving more.

If you liked the original....

This one is even better than the first one, Yahtzee's best story thus far. Cheers for the sequel!
