Space Police: Enemy at the Cat Flap, an almost funny SciFi space comedy Kindle Edition

It’s the 25th Century and the President of Earth is about to be assassinated.

Meanwhile… The Mayor of London’s cat has gone missing, and it’s up to Capstan and Dewbush to find it. But when they discover an ancient cat flap that for centuries has been used as a gateway to another planet, what starts off as a bog-standard missing pet case soon becomes something altogether more sinister.

This, the fifth in the brand new Space Police series, is a hilariously funny Sci Fi space comedy that's just perfect for fans of the humour of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, and the Space Team books.

    I loved this one too, like the previous ones in the series. It just that it has ended so abruptly. This is actually picked up in the next volume. Very funny. Very British. Just as I like it.

    kindle unlimited, had read all the other ones, have stopped majority of reviewing, but had to do this one just because. The 4's on these is because I don't get part of the humor/humour and maybe that's because not brit, who knows.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enemy at the Cat Flap
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2018
    Another day, another deliciously bonkers book starring the hilarious double act that is Capstan and Dewbush. If you haven't read the previous books in this series you would do well to play catch up before starting this, the fifth in series, as there is a bit of backstory that would enhance your enjoyment.
    So, hot on the case of a missing cat, on investigating the cat flat that came with the kitty, Dewbush is shocked when it sucks his shoe off. The duo are then both further confused when the shoe is not to be found on the other side of the flap. Where has it gone? And did the cat go the same way?
    Meanwhile Dick Muller, President of Earth, is playing host to Isabella Pusskins De La Catus, ruler of Callisto who is in a bit of a quandary having suffered from one of Muller's past decisions regarding milk supply. She is a creature of great beauty and Muller is somewhat distracted by his wife-bot's broody determination for a baby so he rapidly gets into a bit of a sticky situation.
    When Capstan & Dewbush's investigations also start to point to Callisto, it becomes a bit of a race against time to save themselves and, in doing so, hopefully save the planet too.
    I've already recommended starting this series from the beginning if you haven't already. I'll also recommend you try the sample first as the humour and bonkersness contained within these books isn't to everyone's taste. Me, I love it - the more banal and crazy the better. Yes the books all follow the same formula but then so have a lot of other series both book and film and they haven't suffered. Anyway, sometimes comfortable is comforting when you know up front what you're going to get. As with some, it's not the destination that counts, it's the journey getting there that matters. And this journey is jam packed with silliness and the usual bimbling about. And as for the ending, well, to be honest, series like Doctor Who have been getting away with this sort of abrupt, simple, obvious stuff for the past few series and, to be honest sometimes the simplest solution IS the best. It worked for me anyway!
    All in all, a welcome addition to one of my favourite bonkers series which never fails to keep me amused and always leaves me satisfied at the end.

    I love this wacky version of the police in space in the future. Capstan and Dewbush find themselves perplexed by cat flaps that seem to whisk shoes away to who knows where. Could cat people living in a moon have anything to do with this? Could a cat flap be involved in a murder? What is a cat flap? Capstan and Dewbush once again must depend on their wits to save them, so things get very iffy for them. Could the President fall for one of his own dirty tricks? Honestly, Dick is almost too predictable and this could be his downfall. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A humorous police procedural that is a fun read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018
    Space Police: Enemy at the Cat Flap was a delightful read. Mr. Blake seems to have a similar sense of humor that I do, making the jokes and situations relatable. Capstan and Dewbush make a great pair - they seem to get one another even though they think differently and have very different backgrounds. This is the first Space Police book I have read, but I hope to read the others. Mr. Blake writes these stories as stand alone pieces, so the reader doesn't need to have the full background, and that is a wonderful talent to possess. I did come across a few technical issues that annoy me, but they didn't detract from the over all story. The only real critique I have was with the ending. I was really hoping to see a little more of the fallout. The end felt a little flat to me. Other than that, it's a fun, light read.

    Another yarn for Capstan and Dewbush, bobbing around earth and space fighting crime. Some funny moments to be had in the journey along with the inevitable near death situation and miraculous or more like ludicrous escape.
