If the show The Orville was about an incompetent version of Han Solo you would get something close to this book...
I think this was just the wrong kind of pulp adventure for me. The only reason I kept reading is because I did really like how a few elements of the story worked, especially the very natural way the Christian aspect was included, but I can't bring myself to continue the series. It might be more enjoyable for some younger teen readers or those who like 'lovable rascal' characters a lot more than I do.

Space Drifters is a light-hearted fun space opera. It focuses on the exploits of a small crew as they seek a powerful object known as the Emerald Enigma.
The story is populated with colourful characters. Captain Starcrost is your underdog starship captain. He's a little goofy and would be lost without the wisdom of his companions, but he will always demonstrate bravery when it counts. He reminds me a little of Roger Wilco from the Space Quest games.
Blix is very cool. He strikes me a little as an English butler with reptilian scales. His species can dream things into existence, leading to lots of fun and hijinks.
Nelvan - the time travelling young man from the past serves as the anchor to help ease us into the story world. He is a compassionate character.
Jasette brings a welcome female perspective, as well as a great air of mystery. She is a tough-girl bounty hunter ... or is she?
Hamilton is the smooth villain you love to hate.
I enjoyed Starcrost's quest for the emerald enigma. The story comes to a satisfying conclusion, but also leads directly into sequel territory. I'm looking forward to the next one.
