Críticas:
"This pseudo-science-fiction book provides laughs of all types: readers will progress from snickers to giggles to, finally, belly laughs and shouts of outrage...Puns, shaggy dog stories, snarky remarks, and hoaxes are just a few of the humorous elements used expertly here." - Kirkus Reviews
"Works exceptionally well... I can't wait to see what weird adventures are next in store for our heroes." --Bookbag
"A jaded (some might say washed up), hardened investigator with a twelve-year-old is an unusual narrator for a YA tale, but Australian author Pitt pulls it off with aplomb...It's not quite Douglas Adams amounts of interstellar wonkiness, but given the fact that there's a sentient Swiss cheese sandwich threatening their lives at one point, it comes close." --Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books Recommended Title
" The adventure begins and holds its own in a tale full of jokes, puns and carnivorous sandwiches, yes, really. A comic tale that doesn't disappoint, curl up with a cuppa and a sandwich (if you dare!) and enjoy...." - AND Guide
"Blake Carter, star detective with the Planetary Bureau of Investigation, is having a bad day. First, his boss informs him that he will be working with a cyborg partner. Second, the biggest bad guy in the universe, Bartholomew Badde, has just stolen a device that could disrupt all technology, sending the galaxy into the dark ages, and it gets personal when the elusive Badde gives Carter 24 hours to retrieve the malicious Maria virus from a Fort Knox like facility, or his daughter, Lisa, will suffer a fate worse than death. Though the adult main character might deter some readers, those willing to overlook that point will enjoy a manic caper full of talking cars, espionage blunders, Brady Bunch psychosis, and comedic interjections from the book's fictional editor, as Carter and his partner travel from the depths of the Mariana Trench all the way to Mars (where, spoiler alert, there are no toasters). Packed with references to contemporary culture, this satirical, quirky sci-fi adventure might appeal to fans of Douglas Adams' well-loved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." --Lindsey Tomsu, Booklist
