Space Story - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

For two Earth-teens, waking up in a spaceship would have been fine had they gone to bed in one. Though happy to escape the doomed Earth, they are left floating in an outer space gone dangerously bonkers. Adjusting well for their age group, Kay becomes an important prophetess, and Bobby an accidental, mythical deity, within the eyes of both their oddly constructed new friends and some very ambitious enemies. But it isn’t enough.
The great Professor Lully, mediocre Bobby’s father, is mostly to blame for the highly evolved, highly arrogant automatons that now pursue these remaining Earthlings across the reaches of space and beyond the limits of logical thinking.
Though they sorely miss phone apps and solid ground, Bobby and Kay accept their role as humanity’s last chance, help battle for the future of living things, and seek the clarification of certain teenaged misunderstandings.

Wander the limits of the galaxy and logical thinking in this raucous tale of universal conquest.

“This is a book that exhibits more intelligence behind all of its props and effects than a cantina-ful of Star Wars sagas…A fine genre spoof and tribute that provides wild outer-space adventure in calculatingly twee prose.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Space Story is a witty science fiction novel in which teenagers go up against an army of mutant robots who wish to obliterate humanity… the story is smart, original, and exciting, with laughter-inducing moments.” —Foreword Reviews
