About this listen

The humor and heart of Galaxy Quest, thrilling sci-fi action, solid storytelling, and old-fashioned fun come together in Rocket Repo.

After eight years alone on Earth 2, Geddy Starheart is ready to get off. Off-world, that is. But before he can, someone steals his ship. His quest to find it takes him on a hilarious, galaxy-spanning adventure with his only friend--the ancient alien trapped in his head.

Geddy rose through the ranks of a shady auction house dealing in stolen goods. When it got too dicey, he fled to Earth 2 and changed his identity. Years later, he watched the last transport leave for Earth 3. Everyone figured him dead, and he was good with that.

But fate had other plans. One day, he inhaled an ancient alien named Eli who told him he just wanted to go home. Together, they built a starship capable of making the journey. The ship that just got jacked.

A chance encounter with a creaky salvage trawler brings new hope and a ragtag crew in need of a captain. With Eli's help, they uncover a dark conspiracy to destroy all civilization in the universe. To stop them, they'll need to get their ship together. Or die trying. Preferably the former.

Rocket Repo: Book 1 of Reassembly is a relentlessly fun and thrilling romp through the stars. Expect memorable characters, short chapters, and adult humor wrapped in solid sci-fi.

Cliffhanger!

I enjoyed the characters and their adventures. I wasn't paying attention to the time remaining so I was super surprised when the book ended! Right in the middle of an adventure! I just really dislike cliffhangers and endings with no resolution. If this book had an actual ending if would have been great.

Great story promised, not delivered.

Former ace pilot Geddy Starheart has been living alone - well, as alone as one can be with an alien spore he'd inhaled living rent free in his head - for several years, ever since an explosion caused the evacuation of the planet and the subsequent leaving of Geddy because they thought he was dead.

During those years, they had built a ship that would be capable of taking Eli, the alien spore, to his home planet. But, on the night before they plan to leave, the spaceship disappears. What follows is a crazy search for the ship and plans to get Eli home.

This book had a great premise, and I had been looking forward to reading/listening. The start was okay, and I kept waiting for it to get better. It didn't. Listening to the audiobook, I found my attention wandering to the point of having to relisten to various parts. While there was comedy, several parts that were intended to be funny (I assume) just fell flat.

While there were plenty of characters, the character development was minimal at best. To make things even worse, the major storyline - getting the spaceship back - want even accomplished by the end of the book! I can only assume it will be recovered in book 2, but I won't be finding out. I don't mind author's using cliffhangers to encourage readers to continue on in the series, but I do expect author's to resolve the majority plot of the book WITHIN that book.

As for the audiobook, the narrator was J.S. Arquin. He did a good job, and i could tell he thought the story was funny. But his enjoyment of it just wasn't enough to carry the book.

Don't bother.

Waste of time. Shallow characters, juvenile descriptions of sex that serve no purpose in furthering the story.

Absolute garbage

I gave up during the scene when he masturbated to a bewildered holographic shop attendant. While the story idea itself had promise the writing is pedestrian at best, grindingly slow and often just plain gross.

!!!!Explicit sex "beware"!!!!!

I'm not one to read reviews. (everyone's tastes vary, and there are a lot of fake reviews) I wish I had on this one. I would have saved myself $7.95.
Audible needs to post in the description if a book contains Strong sexual content. MASTURBATING to an AI /hologram, whatever it was, is explicit, especially when my 8yr old grandson was listening to it. Thank god he let me know.
I hope another person who wishes to buy for a child sees my review.
