About this listen

Kelly Frank is EarthCent's top diplomat on Union Station, but her job description has always been a bit vague. The pay is horrible and she's in hock up to her ears for her furniture, which is likely to end up in a corridor because she's behind on rent for her room. Sometimes she has to wonder if the career she has put ahead of her personal life for 15 years is worth it.

When Kelly receives a gift subscription to the dating service that's rumored to be powered by the same benevolent artificial intelligence that runs the huge station, she decides to swallow her pride and give it a shot. But as her dates go from bad to worse, she can only hope that the supposedly omniscient AI is planning a happy ending.

funny space scifi romcom, the narration was spoton. will be looking at spending credits on other books in the series.

Funny boom

Date Night on Union Station is a fun, lighthearted story. Despite the title, it has almost nothing to do with dating. It follows earth's ambassador to an alien space station, as she goes on a series of "dates", all of which turn into working lunches at which she solves the latest diplomatic crisis.

The story has a classic space opera setting, but none of the violence or horror you'd normally associate with that genre. Instead, there's a lot of humour, and likeable characters who solve their problems through diplomacy. A lot of the humour comes from the aliens patronizing attitude towards earth's "primitive" culture.

There isn't much of a plot - this novel is almost a collection of short stories. However, this is the first novel in a long series, and acts as a prolog to a story told over the course of several short novels.

After listening to this novel, I bought the next few books in the series, in rapid succession. The series just gets better, as you get to know the ever expanding cast of characters.

If you enjoy light, innocent science fiction, which doesn't take itself too seriously, then this series is well worth a try.

Fun, lighthearted science fiction at its best

This is a good little comedy sci-fi story. The characters are well developed and the narration is good.

I had read all of EM Foners books, and found them excellent reading. It’s so good to be able to listen to them now as I’m driving!
No nastiness or bad language either which is the reason I keep reading.

Excellent easy listening
