A kid battling cancer. A space captain on a mission. Can they work together to defeat the deadliest enemy of all?
Beating a fatal disease didn’t steal Fen’s imagination. But when the 10-year-old’s cancer comes back, he knows he’ll need all the help in the universe to finish what he started. Despite the help of his companions, things look bleak until Fen cracks the cover of a sci-fi story about a courageous captain fighting against incredible odds…
Vulp is ruggedly handsome, recklessly confident, and he doesn’t give a squat about the odds. With his chances of victory pegged at slim to none, he rushes headlong into danger against his latest intergalactic enemy.
While Fen and Vulp have the worst prospects in the universe, they must face their toughest mission yet not ending up dead. Can the captain and the cancer patient take down their bitter enemies or will they die trying?

My favorite kind of writer (and people) are those that are a combination of the following:Individualistic mind warriors ~ they are proud to let their freak flag fly; they wouldn't have it any other way
Perpetual teenagers ~ energetic, enthusiastic, minds wide open and eyes full of wonder with a sly wink at convention
Primary colors in a world of drab ~ most definitely nonconformists
A pinch of adolescence ~ the more charming bits of children (not the whining/drooling bits)
Slightly androgynous....they are aware, if not in touch, with their masculine and feminine sides
Smart, brave and curious (must I really say this as if dumb, cowardly and closed minds were fetching qualities?)
Last but not least: A great sense of humor, a snarky sense of humor, conversant with black and dry humor, not taking themselves or the world too seriously and most importantly, can make me laugh
John Box has the above qualities and more in spades. I first became familiar with his work a year and a half ago when I read "American MaleWhore in Tokyo," his account of being a host at a Japanese club. I LOVED it! It was funny, self-depreciating, interesting, astonishing, amazing....don't take my word for it; order a copy from Amazon right now and get reading. This type of memoir does not come along often. You can find my review here at GoodReads. Take note: most everyone who has read it feels the same.
So, I was excited to learn that he has this novella, "The Stars' Fault" coming out at the end of the month. I was lucky to receive an advance copy. I will not recap the plot since you can read that in the above book's description. The part parody is of 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green and I have not read it (but I swear I, now, will.) Even so, that did not take away from my enjoyment of the dueling stories. A creative, clever and fertile mind for fiction, it appears that John Box can write equally well in any genre he chooses. There is a Reader's Guide at the end of the book-do not skip it. I repeat..Do not skip the Reader's Guide....it is hysterical. When he is himself, he reminds me of a naughty charmer with a twinkle in his eyes and FU on his lips!!!
One last thing and trust me, I know I'm odd, but stories often invoke feelings of songs I love. I'm not sure if this is true for everyone or if, once again, I am the cheese that stands alone. The Star's Fault gave me an edgy, atmospheric feeling that is similar to a Fear Factory song 'Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies.') Read the story then listen to the song; is it just me or can you feel it too?

The Stars' Fault edition by John Box Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I've read a couple of John Box books now, as ever it was wonderful . If you love dark humor as I do , you will love this book.
John's books are always a surprise and this sure was. in a best of ways.
I think you really need to read The Star's Fault ASAP
Just your usual story of kids with cancer interchanged with a sci-fi story they are reading.
Of course I didn’t cry, not once. What Kleenex? No, that’s a paper towel, I couldn’t reach the Kleenex box. Oh, never mind... fudge!
An amazing book that although when I saw the book and I thought it was very small, makes up for it in an intense experience. The reason I found it intense was it has all the elements I like. Humor, although extremely dark. A story where you really care for the characters and surprises galore. Don't let the size fool you, as many of you have said to your girlfriends, this is a spectacular book. Now I do wish the author would immediately write a 700 + book about the other books named in this book.
I was very sad at the end, one because it's the end and the other because man this author can write! I have read two other books by him and I have to say he is in my top 10 list of authors. You should take a chance and check this out. Humor, love and incurable illness, followed by heroes of the galaxy. What more could you want? Well size but that's another topic.
You can play the blame game until you're old and gray, but no one knows why some kids get cancer, and others grow up to be rich, entitled jerks who run for President. Calling it the stars' fault makes as much sense as anything else.
Here, Box takes an unfunny subject - cancer kids - and manages to squeeze some chuckles out of these plucky souls.
We meet Harold, Andromeda, and Fen, three youngsters determined to kick cancer's butt. Alternating chapters punch up the action as three other valiant intergalactic space pioneers hurtle through the stars in the sleek Probe Cruiser LXVIII. These exciting space opera scenes are taken directly from the sequel to Fen's favorite book, written by highly respected, bestselling author, Rowen Boozewell. As Fen's health continues to deteriorate, a plot is soon hatched for him to take advantage of a charity group's wish-granting services, and travel to Japan to meet Boozewell.
This may sound slightly familiar to some readers, particularly readers of a certain John Green novel. Rest assured, fangirls (and guys) - this is a loving tribute, rather than a savage roasting. In fact, I enjoyed this book more than Green's, as there was no snogging in the Anne Frank house, and for one great conversation about the inherent design flaws of AT-AT walkers.
Note Unless you want to spend days writing essays about metafiction and selfishness, the READER'S GUIDE should be avoided at all costs. Just kidding. Read it. It's pretty funny.
The heck with Disney World - I have a feeling all the cool cancer kids are gonna Make-A-Wish to meet John Box.
Here's to thrivival!
