Buckle up, it's gonna be a smooth ride.

Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, my buddy Mike and I expected to be picked up by a tow truck, not an alien mothership.

Next thing we knew, we were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see. They're all mighty nice, but for folks who can cruise the cosmos, they can't fix a busted gizmo to save their lives.

Didn't take long for me and Mike to put our know-how to good use, solving one oddball problem after another. And somewhere between fixing berserk waiter-bots, picking up alien slang, and dodging dinners that bite back, all them strangers started feeling an awful lot like family.

Even so, I was still countin' the days 'til they'd bring us back to sweet home Alabama. That is, until I met Piper Skyflare, a whip-smart, green-skinned Martian Sky Force pilot who's sweeter than pecan pie and tougher than a two-dollar steak.

With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I'm making the most of this interstellar road trip. It's a mighty strange way to make a living, but one thing's for sure: a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything.

That and coffee. Lots of coffee.

No Stress Space Express is the first stop in a long-running, feel-good science-fiction series packed with clever repairs, playful banter, found family, and sweet romance. Perfect for fans of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair) and the warm, cozy charm of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes. Come aboard and enjoy the ride.
