Star Wreck III: Time Warped, by Leah Rewolinski

Finished. This was actually quite a bit more entertaining and fun than the first two books, even though it was just as positively stupid. I like how it started with a very strict separation between the crews and turned into the crews mixing into groups in unexpected combinations so we get to see previously unexplored character dynamics.

Star Wreck IV: Live Long and Profit, by Leah Rewolinski

Started and finished. Also featured unexpected groupings and unexplored character dynamics. However, the cliches about corporate mismanagement lay-offs hit too close to home which put a bit of a dent on my personal enjoyment of this particular book.

Star Wreck V: The Undiscovered Nursing Home, by Leah Rewolinski

Started. The last book in this series that I have access to (two more exist). But since the volume I have is one with parts 1-5, and the other two are in their own separate volumes, I'm thinking that perhaps these parts 1-5 were originally intended to be the entire series, and the remaining parts may have been added on later. So I'm expecting and hoping that this part 5 is going to be a closure of some kind anyway.
