This series is as fun as a barrel full of monkeys - or even an infinite number of monkeys who might, by coincidence alone, type the complete works of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. This story is the most fun I've had listening to a sci-fi audio drama since the five novel "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy. I'm sure that Ms. Ellis would have included an infinite number of monkeys, but just didn't have room in her fast-paced zany ride of a story - it's just that good. It's so good they just had to give Christiana a Parsec Award for it! (Or else she just might have written embarrassing roles for them in the sequel. O.k. she's nicer than that, but she might have thought about it real hard; however, she saves the REALLY embarrassing roles for herself, as is self-evident in "Space Casey".) Listen to the first episode an you'll be hooked - "Trust me"!By: Dan Shaurette
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It has a definite Douglas Adamsian wit to it. The characters are well-written and wonderfully acted. Even the music gets you jazzed up and ready to listen. If there is anything wrong with this story it is how short it is. My only hope is that this is but a tease of greater adventures to come for Casey.By: Marcus Noble
I listened to this right after Nina Kimberly and I loved both of them immensely. The main characters have this strange quality where you want to hate them for doing bad things, but sympathize with them because you know the in the same situation, you'd probably do the same thing. The use of a varied cast for the different characters really added to the production as well. I can't wait to hear what she does next.
