Summary
From the pages of the Pew! Pew! anthologies comes the complete adventures of Ben and his “friend” Chip, for the first time in a single, full-length novel format.
Just when Ben's contemplating whether or not he can use his robotic arm to strangle himself, he sees an ad promoting a new mining colony on Europa. A new life, good pay, and respect await him if he can just get there from Mars. The hot girl in the ad may have helped, too.
But space isn't a place for the weak, or the terminally unlucky, and when calamity strikes right out of the gate, Ben starts to think getting to Europa may take a farking miracle.
The Glitchover: After a devastatingly crushing, utterly suicidal, incredibly stupid trip to Europa, Ben returns to Earth embarrassed and defeated. But Earth isn’t the home he left behind. In orbit, a mass of darkness looms threateningly, and it is the only thing standing between Ben and surviving.
Running out of food on his ship, the Shistain, becomes the least of his problems as he grows ill eating tainted Vienna sausages only to discover that aliens have invaded the planet and it is up to Ben to save the world.
With his first mate Chip, a gay sex robot, he rushes toward Earth between hellish bouts with nausea and crippling hallucinations. In order to survive the ordeal, Ben must put his life in the hands of an android struggling with a corrupt software update that makes him hornier than a 14-year-old boy at cheerleader camp.
What could go wrong? For Ben, potentially everything.
Glitches Wild: With Lady Luck on his side, Ben doesn’t need any enemies. In a game of high stakes, he puts in all on the line, and probably loses.
They said he was lucky to be alive, that surviving his perilous journey and ultimate crash was a blessing in disguise. Ben isn’t one to agree, though, as he tries to up his “reward” in order to facilitate repairs to his ship, the Shistain, in a poker match against Buck Rodgers, the richest man in West Virginia. Ben soon discovers that poker isn’t his game as he loses his ass in more ways than one. But maybe there’s a silver lining to being the unluckiest man on Earth. Or maybe that’s the lie he holds on to to help him sleep at night. Either way, with Lady Luck on his side, Ben doesn’t need any enemies.

Hope this becomes a series
I didn’t like Ben to start if I’m honest. I found him a bit flat and a bit depressing. As the story goes on, those character traits really play in to making you really like him and have great sympathy for him. Chip is a brilliant character and really brings a lot to the story development. Ashley isn’t in the storyline for long but she’s got a great attitude. I’d love it if this became a series and if it does I’d love to find out what happens next

Fun read
Ben, in an attempt to turn his life around, heads off to a new life on Europa with just a homosexual sex robot for company.
What follows is a funny, crazy trip during which nothing goes as expected.
Great narration and a fun listen

Glitching glitch.
Another great one by the author Drew Avera.
Humor in Science Fiction is pretty new to me but this author absolutely mustered it and as seriously it’s hilarious and great at the same time.
The most unlucky human ever the main character in this story lost his arm in the war and because he is a cheapskate he built a prosthetic by himself which keep’s malfunctioning shocking people with a powerful electricity then he gets a brochure of getting free land and jobs on the planet Europa, so he saves as much as he can to buy a junk for a spaceship, using all his spare time to fix pretty much everything on that junk which don’t have weapons or FTL engines.
Knowing that it will be a long flight a decided to spend the rest of his cash on a sex-bot but it was so hard to choose which so he shut his eyes rolled the page and picked one blindly.
On the way to Europa when he opened the box almost passing out after finding a male gay bot once again luck was not favorable.
Getting to Europa after months of flying on a junk of a ship almost getting himself killed by space pirates, he finds a desolated planet totally barren.
Not understanding what’s going on he shows the brochure to the robot which got a great vision, the robot shows him the tiny writing on the bottom ( an advertisement for a coming out a video game soon ), now if that is not a bad luck then there is much more but I don’t won’t to ruin the whole story for the readers or listeners.
But trust me it’s awesome.
Beautiful narration by Jamie B. Cline for each of the characters in this creation.
Without a doubt,
got my recommendations !!!
