About this listen

For years, the ancient alien AI known as Skippy (the Magnificent, don’t forget that part) has been able to do one impossible thing after another. What is his secret? It’s simple: 100 percent Grade-A extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now.

This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

If you've got this far you'll be not surprised by the format or the at times the one sided battles that can now occur, now the monkies are so powerful. Most species have lost any character depth bar the beetles, who are admittedly quite interesting. Desperate situations do occur however, but unusually even the reader is kept in the dark this time, with a retrace of the storyline in a Bobby Ewing shower scene rehashing moment Things are getting close to the end now and unless the author can move the main characters (including a hampster, lisard, bettle and kitty), To the surface of a remote ringworld say . Te next book it will all be the last, which will be a shame as the new series promoted at the end just isn't my thing. ie wisards in a dog ☹️

Bobby Ewing would be proud of this backtracking.

The story, narration and Skippy never dissapoints and STILL doesn't dissapoint. A step above the rest.

You've come this far already

as ever I just love this space saga. it's references to the present day TV and other sci-fi stuff, together with humour double act of Joe and Skippy makes me impatient for the next instalment.

always left wanting for more

I don’t often write reviews as just not that kind of guy but this series of books has been really really fun and enjoyable. If you want to step away from the everyday then this might be the series for you. The interactions between Joe and Skippy are memorable and have also really enjoyed how the other characters have evolved over the series. In this particular book I really enjoyed the transformation of Bilby - I won’t give any spoilers but the last couple of chapters are just a rip roaring ride and Bilby truly came into his own. Looking forward to book 15 with a tinge of sadness that it will be the last in the series. Thank you Craig Alanson for being brave enough to give up the day job and share with us all the weird and wonderful stuff that goes on in your head. I hope that one day I will be brave enough to try a “fluffer nutter”!

A true “ripping yarn” couldn’t put it down!
