28 short stories with humour, irony and at times, absurdness.
The title story sees a Star Force captain on the Venus to Mars supply run on his last trip before retirement. He can't wait to leave. Nothing has happened for the past 28 years and this trip will be no different, surely. Think again.
In the other short stories, there is a range of genres, from music and war to travel to Westerns. In Ambush, we meet a cowboy who comes across the aftermath of an ambush. But something isn't quite right. We then meet a man in Finders Keepers who finds half a million pounds. Or does he? We also see The Mutinous Mule who won't do as he's told, then a dog who can talk and an alien scientist arriving on Earth and getting himself confused with the locals. Plus a whole lot more.
Each story is prefaced by a light-hearted prologue giving the background and thinking behind each story. The stories are fun and often informative. Just don't take everything too seriously.
