Why read it?
1 author picked A Fearsome Little Ship as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Captain Bristol and his ship Blue 87 are taken prisoner by scientists who want to take Blue’s cognizant brain and use Bristol in regeneration experiments along with the others they have plucked from history.

From Karina's list on science fiction books that make you laugh (without insulting your intelligence).
