Beach Ball Space Haul
(2026)(The tenth book in the No Stress Space Express series)
A novel by Jack Bodett
A school of fish meets a class of clowns…
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.
Our destination is a water world, and I'm hopin' our fishy friends will relax once they're on their home turf. Or is that home surf? At any rate, it’s gonna be a deep-dive full of wet socks and soggy shenanigans. And if we don't rock the boat, maybe we can actually get Murl to 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.
Genre: GameLit
