Here There Be Monsters
About
When Sam Martinez finds himself abducted by aliens, he thought he was having a bad day. When he finds himself in charge of an eccentric collection of fellow captives on a stolen spaceship, he realizes it could always get worse.
Thus begins the misadventures of Captain Martinez and the crew of the starship Schwarzenegger. Intent on finding their way back to Earth, they encounter strange new worlds, new life and new civilizations… and immediately piss them off.
Follow their journey as they navigate through bizarre alien customs, evade a crime syndicate with a score to settle, and match wits with a galactic government that refuses to recognize humanity as a sentient species.
Fans of Galaxy Quest, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Orville will love this story of a ragtag band of misfits discovering just how strange the universe really is.

Praise for this book
A fun, fast-paced read that flies somewhere between The Orville and Star Trek. Naturally funny - the jokes are quick and in the service of the story. I quickly grew attached to the characters. This book is the opposite of slow-footed, ponderous sci-fi where nothing happens. In HtBM, it's mission after mission, as the main character and the crew tries to find their way back to Earth.
This book is great and I am hoping for more in this series of adventures. Original, funny, well written; it even includes original characters and plots that change and develop.
Much less of a book than a wonderful ride alongside some good friends and wonderful adventures. I loved it!
Memorable characters, satiric cultural references, an adventure that refuses to take itself seriously.
