Interstellar con man Rex Nihilo has a price tag on his head. Railroaded into smuggling a shipment of contraband corn to a planet short on food, Rex finds himself on the run from an insidious corporation named Ubiqorp, which reaps obscene profits by keeping the planet dependent on shipments of synthetic rations.
When Rex and his long-suffering robot companion Sasha are sentenced to work as slave labor on a massive Ubiqorp plantation, they learn the terrible secret behind the corporation's products. To escape, Rex and Sasha team up with a mis-programmed combat drone and an intelligent mutant plant to lead a rebellion against their merciless corporate overlords.
Out of the Soylent Planet is a novel-length prequel to Starship Grifters, the book New York Times best-selling author Hugh Howey called "one of my favorite space romps of all time".

I have the book and the audio version! The audio is so good thanks to the wonderful and talented performance of this narrator! She can do any voice or sound effect! Amazing! She makes an already hilarious book even funnier with her timing and voice inflections.
The book tells how Rex and Sasha, an android/robot, get together. There first adventures which land them in plenty of trouble which Sasha should get use to if she is going to stay with the crazy nut! Rex has nothing but dangerous and hair brain schemes to get money and he doesn't seem to care if he runs afoul the mob, the law, crooked agents, or other con men.
In this adventure they end up making friends with a crippled military robot and a sentient plant. They are almost executed a couple of times. Slaves for a while. Sasha losses an eye for a while and so much more fun! This was hilarious as the others I have read have been. I am glad to know how the two got together.
Now, on to the next book!
Terrific narration and hilarious story!

Simply put, this audiobook is a roaring good time that will have you laughing like a lunatic for hours. The narrator here, J.D. Ledford, just makes the audio experience absolutely perfect here. Her range for all the wacky characters is spot on and she hits every comedic cue in the writing. If she keeps this level of quality up in her narration for all her future audiobooks, she could easily be one of the most sought after on audible in the next few years.
This book is highly recommended to listeners who just want to laugh. There is no required reading from the first two books in order to enjoy it and no need to take in a bunch of new science fiction concepts here. It's straight self aware comedic gold, designed for people who just want to enjoy a ridiculous setting with ridiculous characters.
A perfect recipe for intense laughter.

The narrator can do decent voices but the bulk of it is done in a slow 1950's robot voice which is annoying.
the story is juvenile and not very funny.
