A fun, sci-fi romp where custodian - or space broom - Johnny Gomez teams up with smugglers and is thrust into an unforgettable adventure. Great read for fans of Stringers by Chris Panatier.

Everyone aboard Kilgore Station is living their best life. Everyone except for Johnny Gomez.

While humans, the augmented, and aliens of all shapes and sizes enjoy exotic cuisine on the dining deck, or gamble away their credits on the entertainment deck, Johnny is elbow-deep in oily, black, alien excrement. A 'space broom' custodian for the entire station.

This was obviously not the life Johnny dreamt of. Ten years ago, he travelled to Kilgore, the farthest space station in our solar system, in search of fortune like everyone else. Some people are just luckier than others.

Yet his meaningless, uneventful existence is immediately turned upside down when he happens upon a tiny glass data-chit, hidden amongst the alien poop he must clean up. Unbeknownst to him, every nefarious creature in the solar system will soon be after him to claim it for their own.

With the help of his augmented roommate, a pair of smugglers and a mysterious and beautiful stranger, Johnny fights off thugs and sails as fast as possible to earth's moon, Luna, in effort to sell the chit to the Obinna Crime Syndicate. But with assassins and mobsters on their tail, the trip is anything but a cakewalk. And Luna itself proves to be nothing like a safe haven, when Johnny's painful past finally catches up to him...

Reviews for Space Brooms!

“A fun, quirky romp through a diverse galaxy brimming with adventure, danger, and a plethora of fun aliens to rival any sci-fi story.” – Christopher M. Arnone, author of The Jayu City Chronicles   ""A.G. Rodriguez's Angry Robot debut is a jaunty, fast-paced reminder that the rich shouldn't have a monopoly on space. There's room for everyone – even daydreaming janitors – in the stars."" – R.W.W. Greene, author of Mercury Rising, Twenty-five to Life and The Light Years   “An exciting space romp full of action with geeky references to satisfy the most ardent sci-fi and fantasy fans. I was on the edge of my seat rooting for Space Brooms! and its hilariously relatable lead character, Johnny Gomez. An instant sci-fi classic!” – Dana Gricken, author of The Dark Queen   “A wild, vibrant, character-driven romp, Space Brooms! combines humor, heart, and action to showcase Johnny Gomez’s journey from daydreaming custodian to spacebound adventurer. I read through the book in one sitting.” – Briana Morgan, author of The Reyes Incident
