Publisher Description
Unexpectedly thrown to the far side of the universe, can a cat and a squirrel convince their warring crews to work together long enough to survive the voyage home?
When Janessa Carroway finally gets her long-overdue promotion to captain, it comes with unfortunate strings attached. She's sent on a suicide mission with a barebones crew to commit a war crime. Why, it's almost a relief for the Norwegian Forest cat captain when everything goes completely wrong, and she finds herself on the far side of the cosmos, trying to befriend her enemy, so they can all get home together.
Follow a crew that includes cats, dogs, squirrels, cyborg rabbits, and even a sentient mushroom as they wrestle with their predicament and try not to wrestle with each other.
Join them as they face impossible odds, the perils of space, the failures of technology, ethical quandaries, and a fleet of attacking Zakonraptors!

Cute Sci-Fi Novel
Voyage of the Wanderlust is adorable. If you've ever looked at your pets and imagined they have an imagination, and with that imagination, they pretend they're on a spaceship - that's what this book is. It's so cute!
The Wanderlust is a spaceship. Its captain is a Norwegian Forest Cat, Captain Carroway. Her first officer is a rabbit (Morphican cyborg) named Lt. Cmdr. Vossie. Their mission is to resolve a problem between Anti-Ra rebel colonists and their reptilian oppressors. The job is a suicide mission and a war crime. When things go wrong, they need the help of a squirrel captain and his crew to get back home.
Despite being genuinely adorable, this is actually a legitimate science fiction novel. It also incorporates bits and pieces of animal characteristics to explain some behaviors, or anticipated behaviors, of the different characters. I kept thinking about my pets and how I've sometimes wondered what they were thinking. That is what this book does - it plays out that question. It's just so cute. Even if this isn't the type of novel you would normally read, I highly recommend this book.
