Mastery of the Stars - M J Dees - Bog

Finding himself suspended upside down from a burning tree above a pack of ravenous beasts was a bit of a surprise for Sevan.
It had been one heck of a week. One minute he'd been struggling to meet his Corporation targets, the next he'd been promoted...
And then he'd found himself on a stolen freighter with the Resistance, on their way to find the President of the system.
But sometimes, stuff like that just happens... right?
When he discovers that the President is really a ball of gas, and the Corporation is trying to destroy the presidential cruiser on which he's trapped, that's when he starts to lose his sense of humour.
It couldn't possibly get worse ... or could it?
If this book was the illegitimate offspring of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Star Wars, they would probably put it up for adoption.
Mastery of the Stars is the first novel in the light-hearted Mastery of the Stars space opera series.
