space traveling experience, he has no homing instinct that can guide him back to Earth once his odyssey begins - and the galactic lottery organizers cannot transport him home.

Author Ronda Del Boccio says:"Hilarious! - Could have been written this year"

This book was described as being recommended by Neil Gaiman, narrated by John Hodgman, and was kind of a precursor to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I was upset at how dull this book was. The plot is pretty much Gulliver's Travels in space. It has MAJOR pacing issues and spends far too little time on certain things but then will spend entire chapters describing the most doldrum and mediocre issues. The main character fails to grab the reader. I didn't care about him at all because he didn'twere defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords - the brilliant and deadly Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....

This is classic Star Wars. If you miss the universe from before Lucas ruined things with the prequels, this is what you're looking for. I wish this series had been made into episodes VII, VIII, and IX as long as Lucas had kept his hands off it. This book
