Slow Train to Arcturus
by Eric Flint and Dave Freer

Make Tracks to the Stars!

0 Ye civilized of Earth: send forth your outcasts, your primitive throwbacks, your religious fundamentalists, your sexual separatists—and heck, you can even toss in your totalitarian crackpots in the bargain. Pack them all in sealed habitats, rocket them into space, and pronounce good riddance to those lunatics, oddballs and losers!

But if you happen to be an alien explorer stranded on that ship and looking to find a way home Well then, your one chance lies in seeking out the true iconoclasts in a sea of nutcase societies—for verily, it is only the absolutely original and terminally weird who shall inherit the stars!

New York Times best-seller Eric Flint and Dave Freer deliver an adventure through the eeriest alien realm of all—human culture at its most extreme!

"[T]he sharpest moments in this giddy entertainment are those where [Flint and Freer] blithely skewer human mores."

Freer and Flint at their best. A very, very funny look at alien contact and interstellar travel.

The opening was repulsive enough that I would have stopped reading save for my faith in the authors' ability to recover from it. I'm glad I did continue reading, because it's one good story. The premise was fresh and new and surprising to me, and that doesn't happen very often. I like :)

I've described this book to myself as the offspring of Lemuel Gulliver and Pandora, for the aliens who come aboard the train have surely opened a box full of troubles and hope, and they will have to pass through many strange "lands" before they can close the box again ... if they can.
