Summary
The force is on a break!
One of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told has been told by the heroes, it’s been told by the villains, but it has never been told by the people who were there but did not really care, because they just worked there, until now!

These Are Not The Admin Staff You're Looking For
The tale of a group of admin staff trying to submit the office timesheets whilst a galactic war rages all around them.
In typical Simon Carr style this, Star Wars parody, is full of laughs and witty observations of the human condition.

Brilliant parody
Yet another great barmy book by simon carr. I love his parody of Star Trek and Star Wars with nods to others along the way. The red shirts had me cracking me up. I love the bureaucracy of the time sheets and expense sheets fiddling. It’s a brilliant story that doesn’t take itself serious but pokes fun at the sci fi world with great results. I love this authors work

Different
Different view of a popular story.
Warning there is too much bad language for my tastes.

Comedic Science Fiction
This story was crazy, wacky, and amusing, and I enjoyed it very much. Simon Carr's story about the ordinary people that run the galaxy was surprising and brilliant. Rodrigo Pool's narration was fun and entertaining. I really enjoyed all the character voices he provided during his performance. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Simon Carr writes another hilarious story.
Simon Carr writes another hilarious story. This book is fun and set at a good pace for an action/epic space drama. Star Wars and Space Balls through the eyes of the lowest ranks. Audio Version: Rodrigo Pool does a great job with this hilarious tale.

Hysterical!
We're all familiar with the story. We've seen it numerous times. Some of us root for the good guys and some of us root for the bad guys. The thing about the story that we all know so well, though, is that there are many, many more people involved beyond the heroes and villains. And all of them are just trying to do their job - whether they get any recognition or not - so that the larger story, the one with the heroes and villains, can even be told. So, sit back and buckle up, because here comes the bureaucracy!
This book was so funny, I already know I'm going to listen to it again. And Again. When I first started the book, I didn't like it. The narrator was all over the place with the voices and the descriptions that it seemed just too chaotic. It took me listening in for about 15 minutes before I began to sort of settle into the rhythm of the story and the way it's told by the narrator, and once I had that I began to truly enjoy it. The chaotic nature is a natural response to having so many characters, particularly with so many of them being introduced right off the bat - it was very much like a new employee's first day on the job - and that made listening and learning about this new aspect of a well-known story that much more interesting.
If you are looking for a comedic read and are a fan of Douglas Adams, then I think you'll like this book. If you want a completely new take on a well-known story, then you should definitely pick up this book. It's that simple. I don't really have time to say any more about it because I'm starting my first re-listen of the book now - and I say "first" because I can completely see myself listening to this book multiple times.

What if star wars was told through the eyes of total nobody admins? What if they were all assholes?
