Finding work is easy. Staying alive is a little bit harder.

When Russ Wesley finds an unusual artifact in his grandfather’s collection of rare antiquities, the last thing he expects is for it to draw the attention of a ferocious alien from a distant planet. Equally surprising is the adventurous team of intergalactic exterminators dispatched to deal with the alien threat. They’re a little wild, and a little reckless. Worse yet, they’re so impressed with Russ’s marksmanship that they insist he join their squad . . . whether he wants to or not.

It's a lot of fun to read/be read to. The narrators did a fine job. It's not as wacky as Douglas Adams, so closer to a real science fiction story, which I appreciated. It may have gone on a bit too long, I think I would have liked it wrapped up a little sooner, hence the star deduction.

Russ Wesley is a wanderer. Just like his grandfather, he can't stay in one place for very long. But upon the news of his grandfather's passing, Russ instantly takes to the road, arriving in Wyoming just in time to watch as his grandfather is lowered into his final resting place.

Feeling guilty for not being there and helping his grandmother take care of his grandfather and the bookstore, Russ takes on the task of trying to save the bookstore, but upon cleaning he discovers a rock with golden swirls. That rock wasn't from Earth, and the raw power inside it attracts an alien, and that alien brings exterminators to deal with it.

With that almost perfect blend of story and descriptions, action and plot, 'Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc' had me giggling with the word choices and situations the characters found themselves in. All of the characters, including the minor ones, were very well thought out, each with their own personalities, quirks, and things that you can relate to, or know someone like them. The plot was smooth, all subplots stayed within the main storyline.

While there's no wording that this is the first of a series, the book irritatingly ended as if there will be another, (bye star) but the story was good and I would be interested in reading the next.
