About this listen

Get ready to experience two more origin stories in the Backyard Starship universe.

Clever Girl

Icrul never fit in. From her awkward body to her clever mind, so full of questions, she stood out in a city where conformity ruled—and tradition kept creative minds in check.

Abandoned by her scheming mother, Icky and her Da face a cruel teacher, a decaying ship, and financial ruin.

They also face... a grasping hand that will use the law to strip them of everything they worked for.

But Icky is smart, and her Da is tough. Between them, they'll stand up to a planet filled with people who make the ultimate error about the clumsy girl with big feet and endless questions. They underestimate her. And doing so is the last mistake they'll get to make, for Icky's destiny isn't in a stifling classroom.

Her place is among the stars. And she'll use everything she knows to get there.

The Case of the Unwashed Stiletto

When gifted medical graduate Funboy finishes his education, he's prepared for anything the stars can offer.

Except for the plans of his meddling cousin.

With cunning and guile, she convinces the family to send Funboy to an activity that directly contradicts his pathological need for order, rules, and cleanliness.

Funboy is going on a cruise.

For twenty-one glorious days, he will live a dissolute life of luxury—right up until the moment a crime occurs. With the theft of a priceless piece of art, Funboy is asked to unravel a mystery that goes back decades, leaning on his skills in the areas of medicine, law—and the ways of love.

Because this is no ordinary cruise. This is a voyage designed to put lovers of any and all species together, and Funboy, despite avoiding people whenever possible—well, Funboy has desires. Appetites.

Can Funboy overcome his nature, solve the crime, and find love among the stars?

He might. But first, he will ask you to wash your hands. You see, there are rules, even out there, in the endless black of space. Travel with Funboy and his particular personality as he takes on his first case and begins to understand that the stars are where rules are made to be broken.
