One Night At Kedasi by Ashton Macaulay
Zip Turbine and her shipmate Tom, a five foot tall shrimp, are offered a job retrieving a large diamond from an asteroid turned amusement park. It is a job they can't refuse. And it comes with help they do not want, a rival team trying to do the same thing, and untold dangers in the failed amusement park. Sounds like fun.
This is a fun book. It is funny and witty but never turns as goofy as you might expect from a book that has someone named Zip Turbine and a 5 foot talking shrimp. It is well paced so there are never any dull moments. The characters, even the unlikable ones, are interesting and enjoyable. I like the interactions between the characters, and the way the world they live in was set up that everything feels like it fits, even a 5 foot shrimp. If you like sci-fi that has some humor I suggest you give this one a try. I look forward to reading more adventures with Zip and Tom.
