Review
Some audiobooks grab your attention with their premise; others sweep you away on waves of vibrant performance. “Space Team: The Guns of Nana Joan” manages both, but let’s begin by spotlighting one key ingredient that transforms this cosmic romp from enjoyable to truly immersive: narrator Phil Thron.
From his very first line, Thron injects infectious energy and razor-sharp comedic timing into every member of Barry J Hutchison’s delightfully dysfunctional crew. Cal Carver’s irreverent humor lands perfectly – Thron balances wit with warmth, giving each zinger just enough punch without overshadowing genuine moments of camaraderie. The supporting cast sparkles in Thron’s capable hands; whether it’s Loren facing personal peril or other members cracking jokes mid-crisis, he ensures voices remain distinct while maintaining rhythm even as galactic chaos erupts.
The story itself zips along at light speed – a whirlwind tour through unpredictable star systems with trouble lurking around every asteroid field. Hutchison excels at blending rapid-fire action with laugh-out-loud comedy, reminiscent of cult classics like “Red Dwarf” or Douglas Adams’ “Hitchhiker’s Guide.” Yet beneath all the banter and explosions lies heartfelt chemistry among these makeshift heroes; when Loren’s brother is kidnapped, we see bonds tested in ways that feel earnest amid absurd circumstances.
Hutchison’s writing keeps things brisk yet never shallow: settings shimmer with imagination (seriously – where else could Nana Joan herself become so central?), plot twists barrel in unexpected directions, but character development remains front-and-center. Even listeners unfamiliar with sci-fi will appreciate how themes of chosen family give weight to interstellar hijinks.
As for weaknesses? Some may find the humor veers toward cheesy territory now and then – but honestly, isn’t that part of its charm? If you crave deeply serious space opera you might look elsewhere; for fans seeking clever wordplay mixed with pulse-pounding adventure and spot-on voice acting, there are few better choices.
All told, “Space Team: The Guns of Nana Joan” stands out as a rollicking ride across genres – one whose buoyant spirit owes much both to Hutchison’s pen and Thron’s pitch-perfect delivery.
