Watch out! Carrie Hatchett has a plan.


Carrie’s impulsive, reckless nature gets her in trouble again, and if she wants to keep her job as a Transgalactic Intercultural Community Crisis Liaison Officer, she has to pass remedial training.

Little does she know that her survival and the future of the galactic empire are also at stake.

With the help of her level-headed bestie, Dave, and her fellow alien trainees—an intelligent slug, a mysterious box, a large green blob, and a cylinder of hair—she might just succeed. But so much stands in her way. A brain scan confirms that she isn’t cut out for the job, and a blast from the past rears her beautiful head, sending Carrie into a crisis of self-doubt.

When the evil mechanical aliens, the placktoids, return, Carrie must put together a plan that actually works. A plan to rid the galaxy of the placktoid menace, and save her life.

Transgalactic Antics is book three in the comedy sci-fi romp, Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer.

About the Author

J.J. Green is a British-Australian science fiction author who believes the science in science fiction includes zoology, botany, genetics, evolutionary theory, social science and psychology. Her characters are real people living with the challenges of existence in future societies, and some are kickass sci fi heroines too. Her series include Space Colony One, Star Mage Saga, Shadows of the Void and Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer. J.J. was born in London's East End within the sound of the church bells of St. Mary Le Bow, Cheapside, which makes her a bona fide Cockney. She first left the U.K. as a young adult and has lived in Australia, Laos and Taiwan. She currently lives aboard her starship in Cambridge, UK, with her ship's cat, called Black Cat, the cabin boy and the chief engineer.

Transgalactic Antics is a great lighthearted adventure with a lot of off-the-wall aliens, some look like office equipment and some look like custard. After some minor mishaps, Carrie, a bumbling new intergalactic diplomat, is sent back to training on a world with an underwater-like atmosphere. And when she starts taking – and failing – the tests required to become a Transgalactic Investigator, she thinks she might not have what it takes. She doesn’t believe she has any skills and is ready to leave the program. Just as she is about to quit, she gets tossed into the storm as the Placktoids, the megalomaniacal race of office equipment, invades the planet. With her back against the wall, Carrie finds she might in fact have the skills and strength needed for the job.

A pleasant way to get through a weekend. Still think the placktoids’ should be explained as the result of AI gone wrong in the extreme. See Robert Heinlein discussion of AI. "It always will go sour. A computer can become self-aware—oh, certainly! Get it up to human level of complication and it has to become self-aware. Then it discovers that it is not human. Then it figures out that it can never be human; all it can do is sit there and take orders from humans. Then it goes crazy

3.0 out of 5 stars Old Friends and Enemies Return
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2016
Transgalactic Antics is the third book in the Carrie Hatchett Space Adventurer series. Book #2 ended in a cliffhanger and book #3 picks up where it left off. I would highly suggest you read both earlier books in the series before reading this book.

Carrie finds out that the Dandrobians (book #2) and the Placktoids (book #1) are working together to invade other planets. Carrie is joined by old friends and frenemies in additional training as they try to solve the crisis and stop the Placktoids.

This book does not end in a cliffhanger but is open ended and the crisis has not yet been resolved so I expect additional books to be added to the series.

I love this series! I have one book to go and am enjoying virtually every word. (However, there are a FEW errors). If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I'm picky, but I'm enjoying this series enough to spend $$$ for the last book. Light, creative, new species and ideas.....

4.0 out of 5 stars "Humans are very nice. One day they will catch up"
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016
Certainly not in the classic S.F. adventure mode, this book is funny in both imagery and adventures as'Transgalactic International Community Crisis Liaison Officer' Carrie Hatchett is sent on a retraining week following her insubordination during an incident involving the slug-like Squashpumps and the villainous mechanical alien species, the Placktoids (most of whom look like paperclips). With her is her friend, Dave, together with an assortment of other trainee aliens resembling big bugs, a flashing light, a blue blob and a box full of arguing yellow - custard! Will Carrie be able to pass the tests and save her job? Read it to find out, and laugh.
I received a free copy of this book: my thanks for that as, otherwise, i would probably have missed this sweet little treat.

Fun story. Had not read the previous books but easy to pick up.Reminds me of Dr Who, and kind of feels like Men in Black. Would recommend it, a short, fun sci-fi adventure.
