I found Ellen Fisher through the Kindleboards. I'm a new but not rich Kindle owner so I appreciate the prices the indie authors offer their work at. I found this one through the author's link to her webpage (I agree with the other reviewer that the cartoonish cover is more appropriate and that this one doesn't say SF parody in the least).The book itself is fairly short but that's fine for the 99 cent price tag. It's a light adventure that pokes fun at a lot of the SF television out there. Genre fans will recognize lines from their favorite shows (resistance is futile, etc.).I'll reserve a star since what made it fun for the first ten or twenty pages got a little old after a while and Cpt. Steven grated at times. For my Stargate SG-1 fans out there, I'd say this was like the "200" episode--some hits, some misses, probably more fun for the writers than the audience.That said, it's not a bad read and certainly worth the price. Do download the sample before buying to make sure the humor is up your alley.
