Galactic Green Thumbs: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure
Book learnin' meets wrench turnin'...
Hey there, friend. Rusty here. After that big ice-moon job, my crew is ready to spend some time on the Romari Mothership, takin' care of business. We've got an ornery junkyard loader suit to patch up and some new furniture to wrangle into place, but our biggest project ain't got nothing to do with hydraulics or hand trucks.
We got roped into helping Dahlia the plant-girl and Noki the pixie with a school assignment about the most exotic planets they could think Earth and Mars. Never thought I'd spend an afternoon explaining to a couple teenage aliens how "bless your heart" can be sincere or insulting, depending on how ya say it.
But we ain't the types to sit still for too long, so while we're dishing dirt, we'll also be sowing seeds. We got a whole mess of 'em from the Sol System that still need to get in the ground. Good thing Dahlia's dad is a gardening guru. Guess you learn a few things when your family tree is an actual tree.
We're gonna have a grand ol' time digging up memories and harvesting friendships. 'Cause it turns out a great garden ain't about what you plant, it's about who you plant it with.
No Stress Space Express is a series about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair), and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes. Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.

These are just to much Fun
I love how all the different kinds of characters get along so well no matter what their species. Wish the author wasn't so good describing the various foods, makes me want to eat. The various misunderstandings of Earth words and descriptions is quite hilarious too.

fun characters
I really enjoyed this series. There is something fun going on all the time and plenty of silliness to go around. The only problem is the books end too soon.
