A Sea of Troubles Book

This is a hilarious science fiction novel that is highly entertaining. As the story opens, space rogue Cole is being held upside down by Kenneth, a super-big, super-strong alien with lots of tentacles and eyes. Cole owes Kenneth lot of money from gambling debts, and Kenneth is about to collect what is owed to him. So, since Cole doesn't have the money, Kenneth will do the next best thing--he will plant his eggs in Cole's brain, which would amount to turning Cole into a Zombie.

Needless to say, Cole manages to extricate himself from this predicament--but only temporarily. One crazy predicament follows another, each one putting Cole into bizarre situations. Cole is smart, but he has a roguish temperament. His reputation seems to always precede him.

If you plan to read this book, I have a very important recommendation; DON'T READ THIS BOOK. What? Instead of reading it, LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK!! I write this in all caps, because this is very important. William Dufris reads the book, and this is the BEST audiobook I have ever listened to. And I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks; this one stands out far above them all. William Dufris projects the personality of each character marvelously. I simply cannot convey in words how good the reading is. Dufris will entertain you, and have you in stitches!

While listening to the audiobook, I thought at first that it was intended for young people. But no--some of the jokes are subtle, and only an adult will catch the drift.
