Dudley DoRight/Captain Kirk

Creating species with impunity, author Milo James Fowler exercises his considerable flare for snark and satire as he wittily skewers Bullwinkle's pal Dudley while providing "magic" technologies borrowed heavily from Star Trek (and with nods to any number of other influences). As I listened to narrator E.M. Carberry gleefully provide full pomp and circumstance (as well as clever voicings for the various aliens encountered) I enjoyed a few full belly laughs following Captain Quasar blundering his way across the universe, leaving mostly carnage in his wake.

Quasar

This was a fun with lots of wit and banter. It also was a little to juvenile for my taste.

Fun sci-fi!

Captain Bartholomew Quasar:The Bounty Hunters from Arachnxx Three by Milo James Fowler and narrated by E.M. Cranberry is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This book is full of total goof balls running around in space. I am glad Earth doesn't depend on them. It's a short book but a very clever one with fun characters and situations, witty dialogue, and unique plot. Definitely worth the listen! I enjoyed the craziness!
The narrator was pretty good too!

A funny Star Trek like space farce

Captain Bartholomew Quasar is a funny space farce reminiscent of shows like Galaxy Quest and the Orville. The story is entertaining with interesting characters including a variety of alien species.

Audio is really the way to go with this book- the narrator fits the story perfectly.

I received a copy of this audio book as a gift. This is my honest and voluntary review.

fun distraction

Needs a three eyed person on the cover because I keep forgetting what it's about. entertaining but too short to to develop much more than a single Star Trek episode.
