Activate the Device!
They say every planet has its own smell, but then so do armpits...
The highlight of Snrt Mallrt's acting career is an ad that can save you fifteen percent or more on space hopper insurance. Now they've been wrenched from their cozy life on a space station and forced to migrate across the galaxy with a grab-bag of scofflaws and heavily armed crabs. All Snrt wants to do is ditch these weirdos and migrate in peace, but sometimes the weirdos are the ones who understand us best — Darrode, the thief with a mysterious past; Will the krill, the lobster who loves Shakespeare; Ayleon, the twinky cocktail waiter; and Elissa, the best cat burglar in the galaxy.
"Activate the Device!" is sci-fi romp about friendship and adventure in space.

About the author
St. John Karp
6 books32 followersI am a writer, historian, and ornamental hermit. I enjoy living close to things so I can not go to them, and I spend my time pining for my old age when I can shout at kids to get off my lawn.
I love books that are bizarre and exciting and ridiculous. There's something so liberating about a book that makes you want to run up to the nearest person and describe the amazing thoughts that have just been put in your head. I love the authors so much who've done that for me, and the most I can hope for is to do that for someone else.
If I could travel back in time to any point in history, it would be the 1920s. The first question I'd ask is for directions to the nearest speakeasy.

This was a Goodreads Giveaway
Pleasant read
I liked the inclusivity with the characters. It was very natural. As a whole, I don't know that I was the target audience. I got the references and jokes but didn't really find it funny. There was a lot going on and maybe I wanted focus to be put in targeted areas to refine things rather that get ALL the ideas in what turned out to be book 1.

I do have to start this off by saying I got this book in a giveaway for free. This is a really fun sci-fi book. It's more Douglas Adams silly sci-fi. It's a positive book that isn't a hard read.
