A not-quite epic science fiction adventure about a down-on-his luck galactic pilot caught in a cross-galaxy struggle for survival!

Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

From the creator of Mogworld and Jam! Benjamin Richard "Yahtzee" Croshaw is a British Australian comedic writer, video game journalist, author, and video game developer. He is perhaps best known for his acerbic video game review series, Zero Punctuation, for The Escapist.

A solid science fiction novel from Yahtzee Croshaw. WSTGFF is a tongue-in-cheek comedy with enough seriousness to give it compelling tension as well.

The novel is written from the perspective of a down-on-his-luck star pilot who gets unwillingly drawn into big events. Although the protagonist initially comes across as a clumsy oaf who only cares about himself, it turns out he is mostly very competent and genuinely cares about helping others. This is a refreshing change of pace compared to the bumbling idiot archetype that is used far too often in modern comedy. This is more the story about a former hero, nearly dried up after the end of the good old days, who gets unexpectedly thrown into a new adventure.

While much of Croshaw's humor is low-brow, it is usually clever and well-executed, and many parts of the book had me laughing out loud. He mixes situational humor, irony, amusing character flaws, humorous non-sequiters, and other forms of humor to keep the laughs fresh and varied.

My only complaint would be the rather weak ending, which throws in a last few unanswered questions before going out on a whimper. There are solid narrative reasons for this, and it serves to make a point, but it still disappointed me; I suspect Croshaw would call me an idiotic sheep who only knows how to appreciate a story when he is spoon-fed a conventional ending, but I just wish he'd ended the story on some trope-defying comedic note.

Great

it doesn't take much to make a world feel alive, but the author here uses very little to make the book and the characters feel not only alive, but also vibrant.

I have not laughed this hard to a book in years.

a true master of simile

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this turned out. I've watched Yahtzee's have reviewed for years, and the writing style from that blended well with a good sci-fi naritive. well worth a read.

very Douglas Adams-esque

He brings you his best novel to date about punching space freeks in the face.

GIVE THAT MAN A COOKIE

The whole time felt like a zero punctuation review! If you like comical sarcasm this is a classic. It reminded me of playing Captain Blasto as a child. Very fun and light hearted. This is fine for young adult and the humor works for adults too. There is a sense of time losing its gleam and the struggle for relevance in life.

Very funny!

It reminded me somewhat of Scalzi's funnier books, but I liked this one more. It had everything--good writing, interesting characters, a serious story line interlaced with moments of humor, and a good ending. Oh yes, and the author gave a very good narration. I would certainly listen to another book by Yahtzee Croshaw.

Fun Listen!

This is one of the most enjoyable audiobooks and very entertaining with a great story and experience. This would be a great miniseries for Amazon.

The story was great. I wouldn't have expected something with this much depth,based on his other work. Surprisingly relevant in today's world, too

Yahtzee throws it out of the park
