Publisher's summary

One unwitting interstellar freight hauler.

A dangerous doomsday weapon.

One monumental mistake.

When an interstellar freight hauler puts a doomsday weapon in the wrong hands, he seeks redemption, and at any cost.

Space trucker Jon Simmons has messed up, big time. He’s put blueprints for a planet-destroying weapon in the wrong hands, threatening billions. And now it’s up to him and his assemblage of incompetent new recruits to stop it.

Fans of Dennis E. Taylor’s Bobiverse series and Barry J. Hutchison’s Space Team will love this!

After the revelation of what he’s done sinks in, Jon is hell-bent on putting things right. Fighting his way across the galaxy with his ragtag crew, Jon finally comes face-to-face with his archenemy. But things don’t quite turn out as planned. As people begin to die, it seems Jon’s fate is sealed. But he begins to wonder if he can change his future, and his past – prevent countless deaths? He doesn’t know yet, but try he must.

Zeno’s Last Grain is the perpetually quirky debut in a new space adventure series.

Buy Book 1 of The Galaxy Marshals right NOW, and take off for an action-packed sci-fi space adventure today!

I finished it ...

The story was kinda all over the place but interesting. It was fairly light but I certainly wouldn't call it "hilarious." Good enough to buy the second one and hope it's a little better.

An amusing sci-fi space time-travel journey

Jay Gaskell is a genius, his world-building, and characters are creative. The story starts a little slow but I couldn't help but keep reading to find out what was going to happen. The four knuckleheads (main characters) are funny and likable. Well, except for Charles... but he has his moments. If you like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you will love this. The narrator was great.

A fun listen that kept me wanting to hear more

First off, the narration by Keven E Green was spot on. A good variety of voices and certainly kept me hooked.

Really enjoyed the story lines throughout the book and waiting to see how the 'heroes' would get out of trouble time and time again. Good pace to the book so never really a dull moment. Humour was good and mixed.

Overall a very good listen and I'll be waiting for the next book.

So, stop eating a pie Jay and get that next book out :)

Funny, witty, and very interesting!

Great first book. The characters work very well together, and make for an fun story. The whole book from start to finish got better and better. Definitely worth a read/listen.

Can't wait for the next book.

Amusing

Fun if a bit gross at times. The ending is pretty cool. Not hilarious but often funny

Entertaining light comedy

Entertaining light comedy about a newly minted space Marshall helped along by himself from the future...with a surprise twist at the end.

A Humorously Enjoyably Story

Once I started reading this it was hard to put down. I found it thoroughly enjoyable and took me away for a bit on a humorous adventure and I can't wait to listen 2 book 2. The narrator really brought the characters to life!
