A funny, campy adventure through space.

A down-on-his-luck star pilot is hired to impersonate another star pilot to save the job of the personal assistant to a mobster. Little did he know the pilot he was hired to impersonate is the most hated pilot in the galaxy. But there's no backing out. "Jacques McKeow" is dragged into an arrangement with the mobster to cart his son around in a high prices starship for the kid's birthday. Meanwhile, he has every star pilot in the galaxy chasing him down because they think he's the traitor who stole all of their stories and turned them into best selling novels. He's inadvertently involved with kidnapping the mobster's son, and his love interest, who happens to be the daughter of a President, all while trying to save the universe.

This was stupid-funny and kept me interested throughout. The narrator did and excellent job bringing life to the characters. I bought this audiobook on a whim because the description sounded fun, and it did not disappoint.
