Publisher's summary

Contains books 1 and 2 of the Road Trips in Space series.

The Galaxy According to Gideon (Book 1):

Gideon is that close to striking it rich - again. The flaw that always seems to trip him up is that he is a con man, a swindler, and a thief. The entire galaxy seems to have it in for the poor crook. Of course, his task of staying alive isn't made any easier since he has to bring along his ex-girlfriend, who has become a zombie. Then again, maybe dragging along Rigel, the universe's dullest man from the galaxy's most dangerous planets is even worse? You choose. Will Gideon ever catch a break?

The Earth According to Gideon (Book 2):

Gideon's at it again. That's never a good thing! This time out he is dragging Zebah and Rigel to Earth, that backward rock layered with smelly humans. His goal, as always, is to get rich quick without falling back on any legal tools to do so. Gideon, Gideon.

The only thing that's for certain when Gideon tries to scam us humans is that you will laugh. Oh yes. You will laugh....

highly enjoyable

quite enjoyable with a great narrator, its a space romp with no pretensions of science fiction just pure impossibility.

Nonsensical, crazy, scifi, fun!

Very reminiscent of Douglas Adams, zany fun that doesn't and shouldn't require significant thought. just enjoy the whacky ride!

don't waste your $

I have downloaded over a 1000 sci-fi/ fantasy books. this is only the 2nd one I'll be returning. absolutely nothing worth listening too. hrs of babbling on about nothing. it was like an old label & hardy skit. only listened to it because of the John Ryan series..... don't know what I can say good about this series. save your money

Good not great

Reminded me of Hitchhiker's Guide but not quite as good. Still enjoyable and good for some laughs and snickers.

Almost couldn't finish it

Pointless. Plotless. Tedious. Even SImon Vance could not make it enjoyable. I kept hoping it would get better. It did not.

Incoherent

Thought I was getting some thing in the John Ryan series, stuck around as I’d paid for it. This is not listenable.

Sexist jokes

After the third or fourth casual super sexist joke, which was inferring a teen girl's gang r*pe, I had to turn it off. I'm a fan of the John Ryan series, and wasn't offended by the casual remarks in that because it fit with the character. The ones in this one are pointless and offensive. It also felt like the author was trying to write like Douglas Adams, but was far less clever.
