Sometimes, a pithy, thought-provoking novel with an ending I never saw coming is what I’m looking for, but other times I really just want a rollicking space comedy, and Starship Repo sure delivers.

Set in a universe where humans are a novelty and giant space crabs, sentient boulders, and creatures made up of a collective of autonomous organs are the norm, everything is alien yet it’s a shockingly familiar tale of a group of lovable, misfit, almost-criminals walking the fine line of the law. The humor is a little crude, but I laughed out loud more than once.
