STRANDED IN DEEP SPACE ... BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE DONUTS.
When a warp engine malfunction spits them out in a distant corner of the galaxy, Lem and the crew of the Teapot seek refuge with the robotic catering staff of a backwater space station. With their ship out of action and comms offline, all they can do is wait for rescue … and enjoy the best snacks this side of the Oort Cloud.
But when a spacefaring bounty hunter crashes the party in search of a dangerous runaway shapeshifter, Lem makes a terrible realisation – one of her friends may be an impostor.
With suspicions rising and accusations flying, they need to smoke out the faker. But in a subtle game of trickery and subterfuge, there’s no telling if the shapeshifter will slip through their fingers. As tensions boil over, who is safe to trust? And when the Teapot blasts off, will everyone on board be who they claim to be?
Gear up for a fun and fantastical intergalactic misadventure – because Lem and the gang are back in the fourth book of the Starship Teapot series! For anyone who enjoys the idea of being scared more than the reality, Frozen Heck is what happens when John Carpenter’s The Thing collides with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm really enjoying this series. As the description says, this book is a cross between The Thing and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The term "cozy horror" seems like it should be a contradiction in terms, but that's what this book is. It's also very funny.
It's not remotely scary, but nonetheless kept me wondering what was happening and how things were going to be resolved. The ending was unexpected but also very believable.
