Synopsis

Getting there is half the trouble… Hey there, partner. Rusty here. I've hauled everything from livestock to lava lamps, but I gotta admit, I never thought I'd have a spaceship full of pre-inflated beach balls. Usually when a client tells me their cargo is "a real gas," it's a figure of speech… We're doing the job to help out the Driffinels, a family of reclusive fish-folk about as chatty as a library full of mimes. And we ain't the only ones. We're sharing the load with the chaos cowboys of Karlie's Cargo. Let me tell ya, runnin' a convoy with these two crews is like driving a monster truck through a monastery. It's gonna be a long journey, and we've got Murphy riding shotgun. But there's nothing like a critical mechanical failure in deep space to bring folks together. Especially when linking up your ships is the only way to make sure everyone is still warm and breathing at the end of the road. If we can all survive this, maybe we can finally convince Murl to come join us for a beer. No Stress Space Express is a series about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series ( Bob's Saucer Repair ), and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes . Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.
