After interstellar con man Rex Nihilo hijacks a cargo freighter on a whim, he decides that he, and his long-suffering robot sidekick Sasha, have found their calling as space pirates. But when the ship's cargo turns out to be a cryogenically frozen religious fanatic who holds the secret to a vast galactic conspiracy, Rex and Sasha find themselves on the run from real pirates - as well as agents of the oppressive Malarchy, crazy space cultists, and the Ursa Minor mafia. If Rex is going to get out of this jam alive, he might just have to save the galaxy - again.

This edition of Aye, Robot also contains the complete audiobook, The Yanthus Prime Job.

A Rex Nihilo Adventure - Starship Grifters, Book 2

Oh my gosh! Anyone that loves humor and/or science fiction needs to start this series! I have read and listened to the audio and listening is definitely better! The narration is remarkable! It's so funny and the narrator performs all the voices perfectly and does the comedy just right!

Rex and Sasha are in a real mess that Rex has gotten them into! They have to deal with a super cult, mind wipe, agents that are crooked, and Rex decided to become a pirate, and they end up saving the galaxy! At the end of the Audible book the is a short story about Pepper too! She is a popular character in here.

This book is full of puns, snark, fun, crazy dialogue, silly situations, great characters, unusual plots, and a heck of a ride! I know I will have a good time when I start these books! Sasha the robot is my favorite! Can't wait to start the next book!

Funny and terrific narration!

Another great story in the Rex Nihilo universe. Funny, fast-paced, and inventive. This audible version includes a bonus novella starring Pepper Melange. The recording does need to be re-edited. The quality is fine but there are several instances of repeated words and repeated sentences. These can be distracting and take you out of the moment.

Great Story with Bonus Novella, Recording needs review.

This book was so much fun! It was just fun from beginning to end. If you find yourself struggling with the beginning the only thing I can say is... you have a purpose and that is.... to BELIEVE IN THIS BOOK! Believe me listen to the book and you will understand this joke! 😂

Laugh out loud fun!

Notes on series:
NOTE: don't buy the "The Yanthus Job" novella. For some reason, it's included in both "Aye Robot" (skip to Chapter 32 to find it) and "A Scammer Darkly" (skip to Chapter 41 to find it). Also, don't worry about "The Chicolini Incident" not being on Audible - it's included in "Out of the Soylent Planet."
I've enjoyed the whole "Rex Nihilo" series. It's typically quite entertaining and clever! The author does sometimes stretch too much for the sake of strained puns, and sometimes devolves into simple Star Wars references instead of being more original - but overall I really enjoy these books!
Some of the books are read by Anna Marie Lewis, and some by J.D. Ledford. I prefer Ledford's narration. She has a broader range of character voices, but also brings so much life and personality to her characters - and I prefer how she pronounces the name "Vlack" like "black" whereas Lewis reads it like "flock."
Not everything is perfectly consistent across books. The author himself pokes fun at this, breaking the fourth wall in one part where the protagonist bemoans how sometimes he's an idiot and sometimes a genius. Or there's how he routinely uses "DNA scrambling" to hide his identity and change his body, yet apparently always looks exactly the same in the course of the books. There's more nitpicking that could be done. This isn't high literature by any means. But these are engaging stories about a foolish flim-flam artist and his long-suffering, loyal robot, SASHA.

Notes on this book:
Sure, it's pretty silly, what with Rex Nihilo randomly deciding he and SASHA are going to look and act like pirates. And sure, some of the characters (like the big strong guy) are pretty stereotypical. But still, the book ends up being a highly entertaining, rollicking adventure.
Oh, and I do love the book title as a pun on the classic novel "I, Robot"

Highly entertaining

Do you like SpaceBalls? Jasper Fforde's Fourth Bear? Michael Rubens The Sheriff of Yrnameer?

If those types of humorous SF stories appeal, this zany / wacky / and off the beaten path partially modeled after Star Wars story, like Space Balls, punny-esque book will appeal to you.

And the narrator match up to story is excellent. As good as Kate Rudd did in the first book in the series. This is one of the very, very few narrator swap outs that Audible has done well. (maybe the only one ... I don't know, I only have 572 books inmy library...) J.D. Ledford is on par w/ Jennifer Van Dyck and Seeker, or Jay Snyder and The Gray Man.

Sp'ossels - The Truth! Wonderfully told!
