Summary

A collection of short stories gathered from the far reaches of the Space Team Universe. Some of these stories have been available elsewhere over the past few months, while others are new for this collection. The spectacular tales of space adventure you'll find in this audio are:

"Dead Men Don't Get Paid"

Undead detective, Dan Deadman, has a problem. He has a number of them, in fact. He's missing an arm. He needs money to repair his broken window. Someone has opened a portal to the hell-like Malwhere in a nightclub, filling the place with slavering flesh-eating monsters. Fortunately, Dan's diminutive house guest, Artur, has a plan to help him fix at least one of these problems, but like everything else in Dan's afterlife, nothing quite works out the way it should. A brand new Dan Deadman Space Detective adventure, set in the aftermath of Dial D for Deadman.

"Space Team: The Holiday Special"

Die Hard meets The Nativity in Space! It's Space Christmas Eve, and all through the space station not a creature was stirring except a load of evil space pirates who are trying to kidnap a very special newborn baby so it can be eaten by their pirate king. They hadn't counted on Cal Carver and the Space Team, though, who happen to be on the station for some much needed R & R. Originally published in December 2016 as a standalone short story.

"The Last Bounty"

Once the baddest bounty hunter in the galaxy, all Konto Garr wants these days is a quiet family life with the woman he loves, and the respect of Deenia, the step-daughter who hates his guts. But when Deenia is taken hostage, Konto must employ all his skills to mount a death-defying rescue mission. With a terrorist-filled station between him and the hostages, and an infuriatingly upbeat boy from Deenia's class for company, Konto's talents will be stretched to their limit as he goes after the most important bounty of his life - his daughter. Originally published as part of the comedy sci-fi anthology, "Pew Pew - Sex, Guns, Spaceships.... Oh My!"

"Death Comes to Carverville - A Tobey Maguire Mystery"

Former Hollywood actor, Tobey Maguire, now spends his days as an imaginary construct inside the subconscious of Space Team's Cal Carver, only ever called upon when Cal is knocked unconscious. But when a murderer starts to stalk the corridors of Cal's mind, Tobey Maguire - accompanied by a wise-cracking racist squirrel only he can see or hear - must turn detective and unmask the killer before the imaginary inhabitants of Cal's head are picked off one by one, leaving Cal completely brain dead. The first ever solo Tobey Maguire adventure, written just for this collection.

"Nun Shall Pass"
Former Nun, Ronda Sallas, is on a mission to save her son, Narp, from himself. And also from some evil Xandrie gangsters who have tricked him into helping them steal a weapon of mass destruction. Mostly from them, actually. Fortunately, Ronda's time at the convent has left her more than capable to deal with a few dozen gangsters, but when an Anti-Nun strips her of her precognition powers, things suddenly become more difficult. First published in The Expanding Universe - Volume 2 anthology.

"Splurt Home Alone"
An all-new short solo adventure starring everyone's favorite adorable green blob, Splurt.

Great story, great narrator just great.

Firstly the author has left us all hanging & waiting for book 13 or 14 whatever number book comes after the Hunt for Reduk Topa which is not ideal. Books themselves are great as is the writing, characters & narrator The biggest disappointment is that our Barry has decided the JD Kirk is more important. It’s been almost 2 years I think since the last fresh story from Cal, Splurt & the crew and I’ve ended up moving onto other authors looking for the same quality. Unless you’re on the Facebook page there is little to no updates so come on Barry please get the next space team book released & then Phil can work his usual magic. I’ve listened to the series 3 times now. Virtually know the books word for word. They are good books but the author is a real shiznod who prefers to write gritty detective books instead of putting smiles on people faces.

Short and sweet.

I can now stop mourning the passing of Terry Pratchett. I'm now dedicated fan of Barry J H....
Brilliantly written and performed magnificently.
