Check out the 3 Separate 5-STAR Reviews from Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews.

“Author Jack Cullen’s writing is witty and filled with humor, making this sci-fi tale a thoroughly entertaining read that fans of the likes of Firefly and Star Trek are likely to enjoy. The characters, especially our loveable janitor Lock and his misfit friends, are endearing and relatable, penned with a keen sense of distinctive dialogue and plenty of witty back and forth. The blend of science fiction elements and comedy creates a unique and engaging narrative that keeps readers hooked from start to finish, with smooth pacing and inventive plot twists that are unpredictable. This book is the perfect escape for anyone looking for a lighthearted yet thrilling sci-fi adventure that combines the excitement of an alien encounter with the humor of everyday life. The work is imminently relatable because of its realistic core which really grounds the action and makes the payoff all the more spectacular when things get weird. Overall, Lock’s Galactic Mess is a good start to what promises to be a fun and quirky series, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS)

“Jack Cullen’s wit shines throughout the narrative as Lock and his unlikely allies race to save Earth. The storyline rips off popular alien abduction concepts and is enhanced with clever observational humor. Rayguns, starcrafts, and body-swapping aliens are only the beginning of the fun. My favorite moment comes when Lock is just getting to know one of the aliens, KayCee, who explains many questions humans have about the unexplained, including how crop circles are nothing more than alien graffiti. There is plenty of cosmic action, but the well-defined characters really shape this story. If you enjoy reading humorous science fiction, Lock’s Galactic Mess is an exciting adventure that is not to be missed. In fact, it should be next on your reading list!” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, David Korson (5 STARS)

“Although there is a strong emphasis on humor in Lock’s Galactic Mess, it is still a proper science-fiction novel and is extremely action-packed. I enjoyed the numerous plot twists, and it kept me guessing until the last page. The development of the lead character, Lock, is on point, starting with his abduction as a teenager, after which he withdraws from society and becomes an underachiever, through to his metamorphosis into a courageous hero figure. I considered certain times in Lock’s life story to be defining moments and even took some time out to look at those in my own life. The chuckles I had from Jack Cullen’s humor, especially in the characters’ often geeky referencing to movies in popular culture, the hyperbole action scenes, and all-round great story-telling technique, made for an enjoyable and relaxing read.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Paul Zietsman (5 STARS)
