Praise for Aye, Robot"Once again, Kroese gives me a story I can't put down with a hero I can't bring myself to despise. A brilliant sequel to one of my favorite space romps of all time." - Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool
“With this book, Robert Kroese has planted his flag atop Sci-Fi Humor Mountain and dared everyone to knock him off. If this isn't the funniest book you read all year, there's something wrong.” – Paul P.
“I've never laughed so hard while reading a book.” – Greg O.
“Mr. Kroese is the Douglas Adams of our generation.” – Ellen C.
The Newest Name in Piracy Starts with ArrrrrRex Nihilo, interstellar con man… and space pirate? When space grifter Rex Nihilo hijacks a cargo freighter on a whim, he decides that he and his long-suffering robot sidekick Sasha have found their calling as space pirates. But when the ship's cargo turns out to be a cryogenically frozen fanatic who holds the secret to a vast galactic conspiracy, Rex and Sasha find themselves on the run from *real* pirates--as well as agents of the oppressive Malarchy, crazy space fanatics and the trigger-happy goons of the Ursa Minor mafia. If Rex is going to get out of this jam alive, he might just have to save the galaxy... again.
Aye, Robot is a sequel to Starship Grifters, but it’s not like it’s going to make any more sense if you read that book first, so you should probably just buy this book now while you’re thinking about it.
Praise for Starship Grifters
"My favorite read this year. A hilarious space adventure. Hard book to put down." ―Hugh Howey, author of Wool
"Starship Grifters... is not just the funniest SF novel I've read in decades, it may be the funniest I've read ever.... Funnier than Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic Hero series, and [it] may even match Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series."―Travis Corcoran, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Powers of the Earth
"Starship Grifters is one of the funniest things I’ve ever experienced. It is certainly the funniest book I’ve read."―N.R. LaPoint, author of Chalk
"Laugh-out loud funny. I loved every page of it. If you like sci-fi and laughter, this is the book for you!"―Rob Blackwell, author of The Forest of Forever
"This is a funny, funny book. It is loveably absurd and ridiculously extravagant."―Benjamin Espen
"Damn, I laughed.... This novel is funny, and should be approached only by those looking for a damn good reason to laugh."―John Daulton
"Funny SF is tricky. Funny SF that holds up over an entire novel is a rarity. The writing in this book is sharp, tight, and clever. I laughed out loud enough to lose track of tally or occurrence. In a word, this novel is SMART."―SFFAudio.com
"It’s kind of like Foucault’s Pendulum in space but without 500 pages of Italians discussing European history."―Castalia House
"Kroese is the premier writer of humorous genre fiction in the indie sphere."―J. Manfred Weichsel, author of Five Maidens on the Pentagram
