Raves and Reviews

"Heath Miller returns as narrator for this sequel to SPACE OPERA. The heroes of this audiobook have saved Earth from destruction because they didn’t finish in last place in the Metagalactic Grand Prix. Now it’s time for another song contest, and they’re trying to help some aliens figure out what they need to do. This is a story that begs to be read aloud, and Miller’s sardonic tone is perfect for its quirky humor. In a stream of consciousness reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, Miller is adept at helping listeners keep track of each main thought. Seemingly having great fun, he crafts personalities for the many characters who are as colorful as their names."
