Out of the Soylent Planet: A Rex Nihilo Adventure
Starship Grifters, Book 0
By: Robert Kroese
Narrated by: J.D. Ledford

I have the book and the audio version! The audio is so good thanks to the wonderful and talented performance of this narrator! She can do any voice or sound effect! Amazing! She makes an already hilarious book even funnier with her timing and voice inflections.

The book tells how Rex and Sasha, an android/robot, get together. There first adventures which land them in plenty of trouble which Sasha should get use to if she is going to stay with the crazy nut! Rex has nothing but dangerous and hair brain schemes to get money and he doesn't seem to care if he runs afoul the mob, the law, crooked agents, or other con men.

In this adventure they end up making friends with a crippled military robot and a sentient plant. They are almost executed a couple of times. Slaves for a while. Sasha losses an eye for a while and so much more fun! This was hilarious as the others I have read have been. I am glad to know how the two got together.
Now, on to the next book! ( )

It was the worst of times

I swear the narrator/author rolled a d20 and took the worst possible choice at every turn.

Warning: puns show up at odd intervals. It is never truly safe.

Reminds me of “Phule’s Company”.

You may be disappointed, but you’ll definitely be entertained. ( )
