For eight years, Saffron Savage has been stuck on a dilapidated zoo-planet on the outskirts of the galaxy. Her mountains of overdue student loans make it impossible to afford the cost of leaving, and her sleazy coworkers force her to work demoralizing jobs on a daily basis. Desperate to escape, she hatches a scheme that might just be crazy enough to work: steal the zoo's rare, two-headed llama and sell it to the highest bidder.
When the poorly planned theft lands Saffron and her stolen companion as unwitting stowaways on an outbound ship, she must pose as an animal rights activist on a mission to return the animal to its home planet. To her surprise, the ride comes with some perks - instant chemistry with Captain Michael Reyes and burgeoning friendships with the ship's motley, animal-loving crew. Other than the lie that's snowballing out of control, Saffron finds herself settling into this quirky, ship-bound life.
If only the buyer wasn't the most notorious, cut-throat mob boss in the galaxy. Or there wasn't a warrant out for her arrest.
The Galactic Zookeeper's Guide to Heists and Husbandry is a fast-paced space romp about second chances, rediscovering purpose, and finding family in unexpected places.
I give THE GALACTIC ZOOKEEPER's GUIDE TO HEISTS AND HUSBANDRY ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book right from the first chapter. It is an incredibly entertaining read that evokes a delightful blend of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY and ANDROMEDA.
Saffron Savage, the protagonist, has become my closest friend within the pages of this story. She finds herself trapped on a dilapidated zoo-planet situated in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, burdened by insurmountable student loans and subjected to degrading tasks assigned by her unscrupulous coworkers. Once harboring dreams of working with animals, her aspirations have been buried beneath the weight of all the literal and metaphorical excrement. However, her determination to break free fuels her audacious plan: stealing the zoo's prized two-headed llama and auctioning it off to the highest bidder. Yet, these heists encounter unforeseen obstacles, prompting Saffron to embark on a journey aboard an outbound ship, disguised as an animal rights activist striving to save the llama and return it to its rightful home. Surprisingly, she discovers a newfound fondness for life aboard the ship, forming deep connections with the lively crew members and finding herself drawn to Captain Michael Reyes, who has quickly become my cherished literary crush.
While I'm still reading the book, it has already secured a place among my favorite science fiction novels. The characters are endearing, the plot keeps me eagerly flipping through the pages, and the humor consistently elicits laughter. The author skillfully crafts the setting and provides vivid descriptions of the exotic galactic creatures, effortlessly immersing readers into Saffron's world and her tumultuous journey.
In conclusion, if you are seeking a light-hearted, enjoyable space adventure with captivating characters, I wholeheartedly recommend getting your hands on a copy of THE GALACTIC ZOOKEEPER'S GUIDE TO HEISTS AND HUSBANDRY!
