"Boldly going because they're completely lost."

The newly renamed Vance Turbo has sabotaged his own career at Space Fleet Academy due to a desire to atone for a training accident. Unfortunately, his actions result in him getting press-ganged into an expendable crew of misfits recruited by a legendary starship captain. Their mission? To recover a collection of lost sun-destroying missiles that could restart a galactic war. Unfortunately, Vance is smart enough to know something is wrong with this picture. After all, no sane person would recruit this crew to save the universe.

Space Academy is an all-new series from the hilarious duo of C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga, Agent G) and Michael Suttkus (I Was a Teenage Weredeer, Lucifer's Star) that lampoons the space opera as well as military science fiction genres.

humour is hard to do in books but this series nails it. Likeable characters, simple but engaging plot, and fantastically performed

A great start to a consistently excellent series

Thoroughly enjoyable listen, fantastic narrator as always with Jeffery, he's fantastic at bringing that edge of dark humour with lashings of sarcasm to life and doesn't miss a beat with his timing.
The story is great with something for everyone I am looking forward to the next instalment and am now off to grab it if it's out.

So funny with unexpected view points

Didn't think I would enjoy it at the start but it grew on me and I really liked it at the end.

A bit different

Space Academy Dropouts is quintessential Phipps (and Suttkus too). I’ve survived the rollercoaster of several of Phipps’s novels before and, I think, all of their joint works. Most notably for me is Lucifer’s Star which was the book which introduced me to both authors.
So what do I mean with that opening statement? The common thread throughout the novels I’ve read is a balancing act between parody/comedy/bathos with a serious, at times deep underlying story. The dialogue is always snappy and with a lot of sarcasm, some innuendo, and a metric shedload of pop culture references. This novel is no exception, though there’s an obvious slant towards classic sci-fi. While this can be a tricky thing to make work, the authors succeed here in no small part because of the decision to give the main character (Vance) an in-setting reason for knowing all of these references. This combines both author’s knack for examining tropes within the genre and either deliberately leaning into them for comic effect or subverting them for the dramatic. It’s this tension between, and please excuse the cliché, the sublime and the ridiculous which gives the whole work its verve.
It’s very much an action filled ride with more twists than an Einstein-Rosen bridge, all while maintaining a humorous tone, despite the often dark implications of much of the events of the story. If you loved Star Trek, Star Wars and any film, series, or novel with Space or Star in the title, you’ll find something to appreciate in the gentle fun poked at those classics.

A word on the narration--very much fit the character, perfect choice if you ask me.

Beam Me Up, Snarky!

Funny, clever drenched with pop culture, and future references which I liked. Well written, uses familiar tropes with a new slant. Will listen to to the next one!

Good boy of bubble gum.
