Book description
Okay, so picture this: you're a washed-up star pilot whose whole "hero" identity died when quantum teleportation made all the flashy space battles obsolete. That's Dashford Pierce in Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash (and yes, it's the hilarious follow-up to Will Save the Galaxy for Cash - you have to start there). Now he's just trying to figure out who he is in a universe that doesn't need heroes anymore.
Enter his past, literally knocking on his door. Someone from his old life offers him one tiny, slightly illegal heist - just enough cash to start over and save his childhood hero from a bad end. "How hard could it be?" he asks, and honestly? You know it's about to be a total disaster. This is Dashford Pierce we're talking about. He's like the guy who walks into a dragon's lair just to ask for directions.
The audiobook? Absolute perfection. Yahtzee Croshaw narrates his own book, and it's like hanging out with your funniest, most sarcastic friend who's also about to get himself into the worst trouble ever. You can hear Dashford's internal panic ("Wait, this is the villain I used to chase?"), his deadpan disbelief ("They want me to work with them?"), and his genuinely confused "Wait, were we the bad guys all along?!" It's so much funnier when you're hearing it out loud.
The twist about star pilots vs. villains? Chef's kiss. It's not just a heist; it's a whole identity crisis wrapped in a space adventure. You'll be laughing out loud at the sheer ridiculousness of it all - the over-the-top villains, the near-misses, Dashford's terrible life choices. And the way Croshaw voices every snarky thought? Pure gold. You won't just be listening; you'll feel like you're right there, rolling your eyes along with him.
Seriously, if you love smart, hilarious sci-fi with heart (and zero patience for boring space opera), this audiobook is your new obsession. It's got the perfect mix of "oh no, what did he just do?!" and "I need to hear the next part." Forget saving the galaxy - you'll be saving your sanity from laughing too hard. Trust me, you need this. Grab it, press play, and get ready to have your favorite space hero (and villain) completely flipped on their head. You won't regret it for a second.
