A Very Goober Christmas (Adventures of the Starcruiser Galaxy) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Steve does not believe in Santa. Goober does. Only one of them is going to be useful today.

The crew of the Starcruiser Galaxy finds a sleigh-shaped ship adrift and shot to pieces, with a pirate cruiser still circling it. Commander Krax has hunted this vessel for decades, and he has finally cornered it.

The old man aboard is not interested in fighting back. He explains that his mission is kindness and generosity, which is a fine thing to believe right up until someone points a weapon at you.

So he hands Goober a string of three brass bells and tells him to think of what he wants.

What follows involves a shuttle bay full of snow, a ballet nobody asked for, and a boarding party discovering that a teenager with an unlimited imagination is a genuinely alarming opponent.

The crew signed on for a quiet holiday. Saving Christmas was not on the schedule.

Fast, funny space opera with real heart, and the one crew member nobody takes seriously saving everybody else.

A standalone Starcruiser Galaxy adventure. A short read of about 14,000 words.
