After seven books in the Space Team series, this one is probably my favorite of the bunch. It still packs an enormous amount of humor and originality into the series, but now comes with a couple added bonuses, namely that the character and the readers now have a wealthy of past experiences to draw their humor from, and Barry Hutchison is a markedly improved writer in these later books. He's really developed his voice and his ability to play with the tone and atmosphere of his books. And it's an added bonus that he's starting to fill in the backstories for some of these characters we've come to know and love. Seven books in, I'm still hooked on this series and looking forward to more!
