Overview

They needed some help. They woke up the wrong guy. The colony ship, Odyssey Earth, is on a 17-year voyage across the galaxy to a new home. And Jordan Booth is exactly where he wanted to be - tucked up in hypersleep, with nothing to worry about until planetfall. However, Captain Juno Washington has other ideas. She's got a quirky ship's AI, Reeves, and a crew of loners and oddballs, but what she doesn't have is anyone to look out for the Odyssey Earth's six ship-born teenagers. When Jordan is revived and given the job, he's far from happy about it. Then again, nor are the kids. Tight-knit, whip-smart, resilient - the last thing they need is a chaperone, and they make sure he knows it. After an unexpected change of course, everyone needs to join forces if they're going to survive. But Jordan is out of his comfort zone - and the teenagers are in no mood to listen. Still, if they pull together and stop squabbling, they might all just make it. Yeah, right. Good luck with that.

Reviews

Orphan Planet by Rex Burke is absolutely the feel-good space adventure it sets out to be. From the first pages, it had me engaged and smiling. KRR Lockhaven, fantasy author Orphan Planet is a remarkable SciFi adventure that somehow manages to be both high stakes and wholesome at the same time. Recommended for anyone looking for a witty, engaging, character driven story that deals with themes of both loss and being lost. Karl Forshaw, fantasy author This book is honestly funny (so funny) and fairly wholesome and uplifting ... a laugh-out-loud romp in outer space. Rebecca Crunden, Indie Book Spotlight Filled with snarky, irreverent humour and silliness, this book will be enjoyed by fans of Pratchett and Douglas Adams who like SciFi stories with a sense of humour and a 'slice of life' feel to them.

Author Information

Rex Burke is a SciFi writer based in North Yorkshire, UK. When he was young, he read every one of those yellow-jacketed Victor Gollancz hardbacks in his local library. That feeling of out-of-this-world amazement has never left him - and keeps him company as he writes his own SciFi adventures. When he's not writing, he travels - one way or another, he'll get to the stars, even if it's just as stardust when his own story is done.
