United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war.

Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

enjoyed book 5 of sarcasm and Skippy's Awesomeness! The latest book brings other characters into play and makes it more interesting!

Very few sci-fi series have the capacity to make you laugh out loud in traffic, along with engaging the imagination about the technology and species involved in the story. Every one of Alanson’s books has managed that feat. The story arc for this series is continuing to evolve, and I personally can’t wait to see what Skippy and The Merry Band of Pirates get up to next!

The combination of RC Bray and Craig Alanson is worth every penny

I love skippy and many of the characters in this series, I remember while reading book 1 I thought it was an ok book till skippy showed up, my favourite character!!!

I like this series, but sometimes I tend to day dream while listening and miss few minutes because some things could take longer than I like. Other than that, the book has interesting twists and waiting to see what will happen next.

I like the fact that I don't have to wait for months/years for the next book to come out!!!

Narration is great!

Can't Stop Laughing!!!!

If you're this far into the series, I assume you know why you're here. The writing and the story are decent, but heavy on the tropes and recycled story ticks and dialog. However, the vocal performance is outstanding and continues doing a stellar job of bringing the Skippy and Joe relationship to life, and that's why you keep coming back to this series!
