Destination: Saturn

Ajax Calkins has bought an asteroid and declared himself its king, only to find his new realm of Ajaxia is actually a relict spaceship from the destroyed planet that once orbited between Mars and Jupiter, whose remnants form the asteroid belt. Currently on Earth with his fiancée Emily Hackenschmidt, he has left Ajaxia in the keeping of his friend, the spider-like Martian Wuj. But Earth's enemies, the blob-like shape-shifters of Saturn, have designs on the ship and its super-scientific secrets. Emulating the forms of Ajax and Emily, they dupe Wuj and abscond with it towards Saturn. It's up to the real Ajax and Emily to pursue, regain their prize and save the day.

Victoria Silverwolf at Galactic Journey calls the book "a light-hearted space opera ... written in a dryly tongue-in-cheek style that is more amusing than the usual science fiction farce." She characterizes the protagonist as "something of a fool," who "[t]he more levelheaded Emily is often exasperated at," and "with good reason."^[2]

Robert M. Price calls the novel "a riot as well as a page-turner."^[3]
