Wrath of Betty by Steven Erikson

5.0

---

This was brilliant! A rip roaring, hilarious and madcap adventure in space that is predominantly a loving spoof of the original Star Trek series. Now, I am a huge fan of Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series, however I wasn't sure how well he would do sci-fi...the answer is: very well! This was such an enjoyable read - quick, funny and pure entertainment. I think there will be levels of appreciation for the story that will come if you also happen to have some knowledge of Star Trek, however I don't feel that it is essential to be able to enjoy the story as it is. If you are an Erikson fan, or just looking for a lighthearted sci-fi adventure, then you should definitely pick this up!
