No Stress Space Express (11 book series)

Paperback Edition

by Jack Bodett (Author)

From Book 1: Buckle up, it's gonna be a smooth ride.

Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big-rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting to get a tow from an alien mothership. But the next thing I knew, me and my buddy Mike were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see.

Turns out aliens are mighty friendly folks, but they can't fix their tech to save their lives. Didn't take long for us to put our know-how to good use, fix a bunch of gizmos, and make a load of friends, but I was still eagerly countin' the days 'til they'd drop us back in sweet home Alabama. That is until I met Piper Skyflare—a pretty little green-skinned lieutenant in the Martian Sky Force, with knockout curves and a right hook to match.

With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I'm making the most of this cosmic road trip. It's a wild ride, but one thing's for sure—a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything. That and coffee. Lots of coffee.

No Stress Space Express is a story 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.

Spacebound and Down: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.6 982 4.6 on Goodreads 569 ratings

Strapped for cash, but full of laughs…

Heya, friend. Rusty here. Believe it or not, me and Mike swapped our eighteen-wheeler for a spaceship. And she's a real beauty… if you like fixer-uppers. The old girl's got landing gear that squeals like a cat playin' violin, plumbing like a Las Vegas fountain show, and more loose screws than a nuthouse. But to us, she's perfect. A diamond in the rough, ready to be polished up with some elbow grease and TLC. And maybe a few prayers to Saint MacGyver.

Meanwhile, me and Piper are planning our honeymoon, searching for the galaxy's most romantic vacation spots on the galaxy's least romantic budget. We'll be runnin' on fumes till our business gets going, but my new wife can turn anything into an adventure. If you don't believe me, you've never seen her cook in zero-G.

With Mike and Jenna by our side, we're building more than a ship—we're building ourselves a home, and a future, one rusty bolt at a time. I'm tellin' ya, the No Stress Space Express is gonna take trucking to new heights… just as soon as we get her off the ground.

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.

Rocket Ship Road Trip: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.7 818 4.6 on Goodreads 453 ratings

Sometimes the detour is the destination…

Hey, bud. It's Captain Rusty, gearin' up to haul a load of space freight through the Vorn Abyss. Sounds like a heavy-metal band, but it's a patch of space with wonky gravity, where your ship gets pulled in more directions than a dog walker at a squirrel convention. It's gonna be a heck of a ride, but our old rig can handle it. Probably.

Me and Piper are ready to kick off our honeymoon as soon as we get back, but Murphy is always watching, and the universe has a way of rearranging your plans faster than a tornado rearranges a trailer park.

Mike and Jenna will be spending the trip in close quarters, and watchin' them dance around each other is more entertaining than a three-legged cat chasing a laser pointer. I tell ya, if a good crew can laugh it off when things go sideways, this mission is gonna have us in stitches.

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.

Gentlemen Prefer Martians: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.6 702 4.6 on Goodreads 391 ratings

Navigating space was the easy part...

Heya, pal. It's Rusty, and I'm just as surprised as you are. Right when me and Piper thought we'd had the wildest adventure in the cosmos, Mike and Jenna waltzed in, dressed to the nines, with grins on their faces and a yarn of their own to spin.

See, Jenna’s got feelings for Mike she ain’t ready to share, but you can't play hard-to-get when one of your passengers is a big blue slug who can read your emotions like an interstate billboard. Toss in Karlie and Feebee, the galaxy’s most lovable agents of mayhem, and things go off the rails faster than a circus train on ice.

Grab your popcorn and buckle up, this one's gonna be a tall tale for the ages.

Cosmic Cargo Carnival: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.6 589 4.6 on Goodreads 329 ratings

Life's a carnival when you're hauling the rides...

Rusty here, back on the galactic road with another cargo bay full of surprises. This time around, we're haulin' an alien carnival, complete with rides to make ya scream, games to bruise your ego, and enough sweet treats to give a dentist night terrors. And once it's up and runnin', we plan to enjoy every last thrill, spill, and sugar crash with our friends. Let me tell ya, there's nothin' like sharing a roller-coaster with a bark-skinned daredevil, a blob with motion sickness, and a robot who screams like dial-up internet.

But it ain't all funnel cakes and Ferris wheels. On our last run, Nessie's starboard engine swallowed enough asteroid debris to turn it into a king-sized rock tumbler, and we're not goin' anywhere until we fix 'er up. I didn't expect the repair to be hard, but I also didn't expect it to be… squishy. Never a dull moment when you call a vintage alien spaceship home.

Between the rides, the rust, and the rocket fuel, this is gonna be a heck of an adventure.

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.

Scrapyard Supernova: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.7 566 4.6 on Goodreads 304 ratings

Deep-space DIY makes a hauler a home…

Howdy, bud. It's Rusty. Like any space trucker worth his stardust, I know a fella's ship is more than a machine, it's your home sweet home. Our rig Nessie's got everything we need to haul cargo across the galaxy, but when it comes to creature comforts, she's about as cozy as sharing a sleeping bag with a wet porcupine.

And it ain't just the decor that needs work. Our old girl has more mechanical problems than a used car lot run by Evel Knievel. So we're gonna hit up a spaceship pick-n-pull yard to hunt for bargains like my grandma at a flea market with bingo money to burn. And we'd better get those repairs done quick, 'cause we got a new job offer for a cargo run too juicy to pass up.

This adventure's gonna be a little bit home-improvement show, a little bit junkyard jamboree, and a whole lotta laughs. But with good friends, bad jokes, and plenty of elbow grease, we're gonna turn this rust bucket into the comfiest cruiser in the cosmos.

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.

Ice Moon Truckers: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.6 397 4.6 on Goodreads 280 ratings

Trading space lanes for snow chains…

Heya, friend. Rusty here, coolin' my heels in the frostiest snowstorm in the stars. See, our latest job is on an ice moon where the forecast is 24/7 blizzard, with a hundred-percent chance of "Heck no, you ain't flying in this." With Nessie stuck on the tarmac, Mike and I are bustin' out an old-school solution: our classic big-rig from Earth. Let me tell ya, ain't nothin' can plow through a frozen alien tundra like nine tons of American steel.

We're headed for a mine way out in the boonies, where they're diggin' up crystals prettier than Piper's smile and bigger than Jenna's appetite. But there's a whole lot of adventure in that whiteout between us and our cargo. I'm talkin' 'bout busting through snow drifts the size of a barn, exploring ice canyons pretty as cathedrals, and making pit stops in rustic lodges warm as your mama's hugs.

So grab your thermos and hold onto your hat. We're about to turn the galaxy's grandest snow day into the joyride of a lifetime.

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.

A Miner Inconvenience: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.7 455 4.6 on Goodreads 255 ratings

Between a rock and a fun place…

Howdy, pal. Rusty here, reportin’ from the galaxy's prettiest hole in the ground. This here mine has crystals bigger than my first apartment, shinier than a chrome bumper, and more valuable than my mama's secret biscuit recipe. And we're all set to haul a three-ton beauty home to get some friends outta hot water.

'Course, nothing's ever that simple. Turns out there's a mechanical glitch that's got the mining operation more gummed up than the bottom of a school desk in detention. Nothin’ for it but for me and Mike to roll up our sleeves and apply a little home-grown ingenuity. Luckily we've got Piper to give us a hand. And Jenna too, if we can get her to stop gazing at the sparkly rocks like they're puppies in a pet store.

After plowing through a blizzard cold enough to freeze the smile off a snowman, we figured the return trip would be a cakewalk. But this moon's weather has a twisted sense of humor, and the road home is gonna be a whole new flavor of ornery.

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.

Galactic Green Thumbs: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

4.6 356 4.7 on Goodreads 196 ratings

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 of: 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.

Beach Ball Space Haul: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

5.0 6 4.8 on Goodreads 38 ratings

Getting there is half the trouble…

Hey there, partner. Rusty here. I've hauled everything from livestock to lava lamps, but I gotta admit, I never thought I'd have a spaceship full of pre-inflated beach balls. Usually when a client tells me their cargo is "a real gas," it's a figure of speech…

We're doing the job to help out the Driffinels, a family of reclusive fish-folk about as chatty as a library full of mimes. And we ain't the only ones. We're sharing the load with the chaos cowboys of Karlie's Cargo. Let me tell ya, runnin' a convoy with these two crews is like driving a monster truck through a monastery.

It's gonna be a long journey, and we've got Murphy riding shotgun. But there's nothing like a critical mechanical failure in deep space to bring folks together. Especially when linking up your ships is the only way to make sure everyone is still warm and breathing at the end of the road. If we can all survive this, maybe we can finally convince Murl to come join us for a beer.

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.

Dive Bar Deliveries: A Cozy, Low-Stakes, Slice-of-Life Sci-fi Adventure (No Stress Space Express Book 11)

by Jack Bodett (Author)

Strap on your flippers and hold my beer…

Howdy, chum. Rusty here, and for once I'm happy to be in over my head. See, we just scored a job that's part beer run, part bucket-list vacation: fetch a load of the galaxy's smoothest brew from a city under the surf, then haul it to a planet that's parched for a pint. Only problem is, our rig belongs in the ocean like a toaster belongs in a bathtub.

Lucky for us, our fish-folk friends have a ship that's as comfortable under the waves as it is among the stars, and they're fixin' to ferry us down to collect our liquid gold. And we're not the only ones trading spacesuits for wetsuits. Karlie's crew is tagging along to make waves, but this time getting in deep water is actually part of the job description.

We're gonna have a whole mess of hoppy hijinks before we bring that boatload of beer to the surface and rocket off to an interstellar happy hour. So grab your water wings and beer coozies, and join us for one whale of a brews cruise.

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.
