Andy Secombe
The blurb suggested a funny book, which was enough for me to give it a try. I'm glad I did; this is a relatively light read, taking place all over the galaxy as the rebels try to steal a device out from under the Evil Dictator that would give them the advantage. With not-very-subtle comparisons to Star Wars and a thoroughly British sense of storytelling, this wasn't so much laugh-a-minute as it was a case of reading for an hour and not realising that time was passing.
Although I didn't get the sense that it was part of a series, I'd be keen to see what else I can find by Secombe. If it's much like this book, it'll be totally worth the effort.
