About this listen
A galactic adventure rife with cultural relevance in today’s political and social media driven climate, Space Hobos launches the listener into a plausible sci-fi drama and never drops out of orbit.
Trillions of dollars behind schedule, the government and sponsoring corporations scramble to find enough manpower to finish preparing Mars for imminent colonization. Current socio-economic challenges give them the perfect opportunity to capitalize upon. A potential workforce of 600,000 homeless is at their fingertips. They make themselves champions of the homeless, forcing upon them a permanent solution to their predicament.
For quite a while the future has been bleak for Holistic Henry and Cancer Carl and it isn’t getting any better. As the government begins to round-up the homeless population for an involuntary mission to space, Henry and Carl attempt to evade capture, fleeing with acquaintances Junkie Julie, Castaway Connie, and Bike Mike. But their luck quickly runs out.
Exiled to Mars, thousands of hobos must stick together in their isolation. What the rest of the world sees as opportunity for them, they see as a death sentence.
When Henry learns that his estranged daughter, Lily, is terminally ill back on Earth, he races to find a way to return home. Carl reveals an escape route, but it will take rebellion from all the hobos to bring it to fruition. Connie and Henry orchestrate an uprising but the powers that be see the imminent threat and attempt to quash it before it can gain momentum. Will Henry and his friends survive not only the harsh living conditions of Mars but live long enough to see their revolution become a reality?

I loved this book from the outset, I was very quickly drawn, the characters are perfectly suited and, their backgrounds are well thought out, they all come together to create this very imaginative story. The concept is unique and very plausible, they whole story and an air of believability about it. The detailing throughout is spot on.
The narration bring the book into its own, Jeffery gives each character their own unique identity, its simply flawless.
A definite 5 star...
Simply brilliant!

Really enjoyed the narrator too, although a few of the voices were a little annoying and he read the book really well!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
Hobos in space... Space Hobos!
