Short biography
Bestselling author RACHEL AUKES writes horror stories, and as BERINN RAE she writes sci-fi romance and paranormal romance, including the award-winning, USA Today recommended read, Stealing Fate. Rachel was raised on a farm in Iowa where she boasted the small town’s largest (and only) comic book collection, and she's still addicted to stories starring characters with kickassitude. When not writing, Rachel flies old airplanes in the American Midwest with her awesomely supportive husband and caters to an incredibly spoiled sixty-pound lap dog.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I loved this and actually laughed out loud a few times. It is witty, fast paced, and super fun. There are lots of good little details that make the story feel immersive without getting bogged down in scene setting. The book starts with a kidnapping and doesn't stop for a second; there's always a new problem to get through. Can't wait to read the others in the series!

“Aliens are real (and they suck)” but they’re also pretty funny. I’ll admit Secondhand Spaceman didn’t sound that promising but I rarely pass up a funny sci-fi book. I am glad that I didn’t. Indentured servitude has never been such a fun time (for the reader, that is). Secondhand Spaceman hands you your childhood dream of owning a spaceship and traveling the universe and all of the…glamour.. that entails. Thankfully, lovable dolt, Frank Woods is the one who actually has to deal with the heartless boss, alien henchmen and interstellar bureaucracy. With a touch of the real world and a touch of the ridiculous Secondhand Spaceman is my new escape read. I’m starting book 2 right….now!… (more)

Interesting idea but small novella rather than a full story. Felt like reading an episode of q show rather than a book. So while it could be enjoyable, just not my type of reading.

Well written and fast paced, as a fan of The X-Files, I really enjoyed this. I have some minor issues regarding character development, but it was a fun read nonetheless. Would have liked the book to delve more into cryptozoology - which is what attracted me to the story in the first place - but I’ll make sure to check out the new installments in the Sam Brodie series.
