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.

Yahtzee Croshaw, better known as a video game designer and critic, has written several humorous novels, this being the third and most recently published. He succeeds in creating "a satirical sci-fi adventure" as promised, fun and funny, well narrated by he himself. There's not much depth here, but there doesn't need to be as long as fun quotient remains high (and it does).
If you like contemporary humorous SF from the likes of John Scalzi (non-OMW), Ernest Cline (Ready Player One), Dennis Taylor (Bobiverse), Scott Meyer (Magic 2.0), Bob Kroese (Rex Nihilo), et.al., and of course the incomparable Douglas Adams, there's no reason why you wouldn't like this too. That's what I figured when I got it as a Daily Deal without knowing anything else about it, and that's exactly what I got from it.

Any additional comments?
This isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either.Will Save the Galaxy for Food is one of those books that will make you laugh at times and you probably won't regret paying money for it. But give me a couple weeks and I doubt I will remember a single thing about it. It is kind of a knock off Scalzi book, and I think of Scalzi as consistently entertaining mediocrity (that is a compliment btw).
Yahtzee has some good ideas and he does execute them. It just seems like they aren't fully realized, as if there is something missing.
If a book about a washed up space pilot inspired by Buck Rogers getting shoved into some stupid danger and having to claw his way out sounds good to you, get this book. Same if you want a chuckle and don't go in with high hopes.

The narration by the author is easy on the ears and nuanced in a way I’m not sure another narrator would be able to accomplish.
