No Stress Space Express: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Adventure
Buckle up, it's gonna be a smooth ride.
Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, my buddy Mike and I expected to be picked up by a tow truck, not an alien mothership.
Next thing we knew, we were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see. They're all mighty nice, but for folks who can cruise the cosmos, they can't fix a busted gizmo to save their lives.
Didn't take long for me and Mike to put our know-how to good use, solving one oddball problem after another. And somewhere between fixing berserk waiter-bots, picking up alien slang, and dodging dinners that bite back, all them strangers started feeling an awful lot like family.
Even so, I was still countin' the days 'til they'd bring us back to sweet home Alabama. That is, until I met Piper Skyflare, a whip-smart, green-skinned Martian Sky Force pilot who's sweeter than pecan pie and tougher than a two-dollar steak.
With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I'm making the most of this interstellar road trip. It's a mighty strange way to make a living, but one thing's for sure: a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything.
That and coffee. Lots of coffee.
No Stress Space Express is the first stop in a long-running, feel-good science-fiction series packed with clever repairs, playful banter, found family, and sweet romance. Perfect for fans of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair) and the warm, cozy charm of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes. Come aboard and enjoy the ride.

This book was great! If you enjoy sci-fi and humor read this. I havnt laughed so much through a book as I did with this one! I listened to the audio and it was amazing. The narrators did so good, they fit their characters.
Two redneck truckers accidently get beamed up into a giant ship. The are told it will be some time before they can be returned so they set out to find a way to survive the wait. Along the way they meet a couple of girls from Mars and quickly have a whole new found family and a sleu of friends aboard the ship. I can't wait to see where their adventures take them!
