I've been listening to the first installment of Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson. It's narrated by some guy named R.C. Bray.
The first book is included in Audible premium membership and, to be honest, I've been kinda looking at it a bit askance, thinking that it's just some kind of self-published drivel that some dude in a trailer, or something, scribbled together from various cereal boxes and somehow it became just popular enough to be made an audiobook.
But I broke down Wednesday and started the first one.
HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS, but it is funny.
It's not very original, probably a bit derivative and it definitely has a bit of "Humanity Fuck Yeah" air about it. But it's funny. The Sci-fi is good, but not something you won't have read before.
But the story, the story is pretty damned good, plus the two protagonists are fucking hilarious. It's "stupid funny" and not high-intellectual funny.
Maybe it's because I'm a simpleminded guy, but it's funny as hell. So if you're a simpleminded guy, or girl, like me, then I think you will like it.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!
