Henry Hobbs, Alien

A book about boredom in outer space. Henry lives on Omicron, the dullest planet in the cosmos. He's forced to flee when his brother comes on the warpath, but the only place to hide is an a visiting spaceship as a stowaway. He then discovers that the three-man crew have eluded the stunning tedium of interplanetary travel by going insane in sundry ways... An entertaining comedy, told in a sadsacky deadpan style, which should go down well with fluent readers of sci-fi in search of an unusual angle.
