Gone With The Trash
Gone With The Trash, a comic space adventure by Patrick Lussier and Brad Rines.
The Interstellar Detritus Reclamation Company is losing garbage scows at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, a ruthless terrorist organization is wreaking havoc across the galaxy, and the InterGalactic United Military is trying to identify the culprits and stave off the attacks. Gladius Slate, long-time Company operative and dedicated employee, stumbles upon a clue to the disappearing garbage vessels, and possibly a link to the terrorists. Reluctantly reunited with a former co-pilot and desperate to pass off the dangerous mission to higher authorities, he is pressured by the Company and the Union to sit tight and wait for help. But the longer he waits, the more he feels things are conspiring against him. Conflicted by duty, honor and self-preservation, Slate is forced to press on in the face of uncertain odds. Is it possible for a pair of unwitting garbage men to save an entire galaxy?

Light reading. Doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. My impression was of it being like a comic book (keep in mind it's been a LONG time since I read comic books, so it may be nothing like what they do today). I don't know, maybe that's just a way of saying it's "pulp". It could work for you if you just want a space adventure of finding and fighting bad guys. Figuring out who the real bad guys are may be more involved than real "pulp".

Screwy. Loved it. A wacky space adventure with terrorists, bad-ass robots and space garbage men. Yes, garbage men... in space. This is in the same vein as any Douglas Adams book, but way funnier. Don't know why Hollywood hasn't made this one yet.
