Review of Episode #1 - Able James Zhan: Amazon.co.uk customer 5 out of 5 stars Tongue-in-cheek sci-fi 12 February 2017 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase Fun, funny, quick read. It's an affectionate space opera parody -- not as gratuitously silly as Douglas Adams or as crude as Red Dwarf, but that's the sort of thing. Stainless Steel Rat is the closest reference I can think of. It's not a complete story; this is 'episode 1'. It raises more mysteries than it resolves and ends on a 'to be continued'.
