Praise for Starship Grifters

"My favorite read this year. A hilarious space adventure. Hard book to put down." ―Hugh Howey, author of Wool

"I am reminded of Harry Harrison... but Rex Nihilo novels are like 10x funnier than Stainless Steel Rat." - Travis Corcoran, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Powers of the Earth

"Fiendishly clever." - Frederick Heimbach, author of Ronald Reagan's Brilliant Bullet

"Starship Grifters is one of the funniest things I’ve ever experienced. It is certainly the funniest book I’ve read." - N.R. LaPoint, author of Chalk

"Laugh-out loud funny. I loved every page of it. If you like sci-fi and laughter, this is the book for you!" - Rob Blackwell, author of The Forest of Forever

"This is a funny, funny book. It is loveably absurd and ridiculously extravagant." - Benjamin Espen

"Damn, I laughed.... This novel is funny, and should be approached only by those looking for a damn good reason to laugh." - John Daulton

"Funny SF is tricky. Funny SF that holds up over an entire novel is a rarity. The writing in this book is sharp, tight, and clever. I laughed out loud enough to lose track of tally or occurrence. In a word, this novel is SMART." - SFFAudio.com

"It’s kind of like Foucault’s Pendulum in space but without 500 pages of Italians discussing European history." - Castalia House

"Kroese is the premier writer of humorous genre fiction in the indie sphere." - J. Manfred Weichsel, author of Five Maidens on the Pentagram
