About this listen

"These are the voyages of the starship Melampus. We're on an eight-year mission to seek out new life and are bored to tears."

High Protector Vance Turbo managed to save the entire galaxy and retrieve his wayward child, Astrid. As such, he's been looking for a safe job to raise his daughter and find some peace. Unfortunately, that turns out to have been a terrible idea because while Vance believes the universe doesn't need him, the universe disagrees.

Sent on a crazy mission to assassinate a Sorkanan warlord and recover a long-lost space pirate treasure, Vance discovers that humanity is on the chopping block for its many sins. The Elder Races intend to judge mankind, and Vance must prove that his species is worth saving—which is hard since he doesn't even believe that himself.

Space Academy is an all-new series from the hilarious duo of C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga, Agent G) and Michael Suttkus (I Was a Teenage Weredeer, Lucifer's Star) that lampoons the space opera as well as military science fiction genres.

Includes a bonus short story, "Twinkle, Twinkle."

This is the fourth (and sadly soon to be penultimate) of Vance Turbo's (Hero of Spaaaccee!) adventures.
In this, he faces genuinely shocking revelations from both his past and future, looks for a legendary ship somehow piloted by a long dead pirate queen from old earth, and more!
This was such a wild ride, I had so much fun with it. Although, fair warning, it does go into Vance's wartime past, and things can get... dark(duh, it's war, but my point stands).
Anyway, this was probably my favourite of the series, barring maybe book one, and when you listen to it, you'll know why, it was fantastic!
Kafer's narration was, as always absolutely perfect!

A darker, but somehow funnier Hero of Spaaacceee!
