Clearly inspired by Douglas Adams, but falls short as Yahtzee Crowshaw applies his Zero Punctuation technique-using similes in excess to describe and exaggerate a game's flaws for comedic effect-and also puts too much emphasis on details in general. The misfortune of the former star pilot turned Jacques McKeown impersonator had a good liftoff, but sputters near the end. The satirical elements focus on those who were hailed as heroes, veterans, and economic drivers in generations past struggling in a universe where their talents are no longer needed at large.

Crowshaw himself does a decent job at audio narration though. A decent space adventure through and through.
