I'm conflicted about this entry in the Space Team saga. On the one hand, it was WEIRD. There were some real bizarre scenes and twists in this one and it a little too strange for my tastes. On the other hand, I still laughed out loud at several points and think this is some of the author's best writing from a technical standpoint. It was really refreshing to see Cal struggle with something emotionally, and to have some of his backstory filled in a little. Overall, I still highly recommend this installment (just like all the books in this series), but be prepared for something that's way more "out there" than the run-of-the-mill space adventures that the team has been going on thus far.

Cal finds that his past is not as resolved as he thought, and that he is not unique in any way - even though he prefers to think he is. And there is some sort of godly being that is set on ending the universe as the Space Team knows it...and someone needs to stop it. Who else if not space Cal #99?
This series doesn't disappoint. I laughed, really enjoyed Mech's development, and was curious about the way the author would get out of the incredible mess he created. Moreover, I am in awe of the voice actors that had to multiply themselves into several characters who are the same but aren't. It was amazing listening to the Graphic Audio version.

#6 has a totally bizarre plot but it's a fun romp!

The plot for this book was the oddest one of the bunch! Other than that, I thought it was a great foil to throw in the usual humor & show different things about our unlikely crew of outlaws. I really liked getting the personal look into different parts and see how past events have affected them to this point. I'm really hoping that the crazy that happened will be explained in more detail in the next book. This one was definitely a zany run.
