Product Description

Product Description

Teaser Excerpts:

“Look, man. Calm down, you daft fool. I promise you, man … we’ve got no intentions of doing an anal probe on you. Why would we fly halfway across the galaxy to visit a different civilisation, and then when we get here, like, we go, ‘Hmm, how shall we interact with this new civilisation? I know! We’ll stick things up their bum!’ You’re proper mental, you, man.”

"It just seems a bit inconsiderate on their feelings. I mean, like, normally when you snog a lass she assumes it's because you find her physically attractive, but if she realised you were only snogging her as part of a plan to kill her entire species she'd probably feel a bit huffed."

"Ar, well, I mean I'm obviously tempted, like. I mean, I'm tempted to save the world ... not the spanking stuff, obviously ... just saving the world. I mean I would obviously get involved in a bit of spanking if it meant saving the world. But just to save the world ... not for anything else."

. . . . . . .

The Blurb:

'Aliens from the planet Fem have decided that as compassionate citizens of the galaxy they have a duty to alleviate suffering and affliction from the rest of the galaxy.

In the majority of cases this will involve sharing their unprecedented prosperity and quality of life with those planets less fortunate than themselves. Of course, in a minority of extreme cases this will also involve eliminating life from those planets in the galaxy where the level of suffering is simply too great to alleviate.

Unfortunately for Earth, the Femlings have deemed us one such planet...'

. . . . . . .

Great first book from an up and coming author. Love the twist and turns, anyone who has the slightest sense of humour will enjoy this book! Can't wait for the second instalment. 9 out of 10!

Please note that this is only part 1 and 2 of book one of a trilogy. What that means is that you might find yourself looking forward to a conclusion that never arrives, unless you get the other books.

I read the sample, and found it quite refreshing. The sample was easy to read and fun. I liked it because traditional world class novels start in the beginning of nowhere, talking about characters you don't know and expecting you to do the work of taking in everything, but this book did not require any thinking. For only £1.50, how could I go wrong?

The rest of the book is written in the same style as the sample, consisting of about 90% dialogue. This is not the normal way to write a book, but not necessarily a bad thing. The story has a clever plot and the author has obviously put a lot of thought into it.

On the down side, there are some areas which could be improved:

- The target audience is immature males. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you don't like reading hundreds of pages about "baps", don't read this book.
- It's too long. Eric, the main character, is a bit stupid, and while this is the main reason this book is fun to read, he does tend to repeat many things either in his thoughts or his dialogue. This, combined with endless the dialogue on "baps", make the book about three or four times longer than it needs to be.
- Most of the book is written in a Geordie accent. I don't really know what a Geordie accent is, probably because I didn't grow up in the UK. It started off being a bit humorous at first, but as the book goes on and on, it gets quite annoying. After reading many pages, I found myself starting to think in an accent that I don't even know.

To sum up, if you like female anatomy, enjoy reading fun books, don't mind very long dialogue and endless Geordie accents, and are happy to read all of the other books, then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughed all the way through …Great Fun Book! 2 April 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Don’t usually review anything but felt compelled to with this and im not into space stuff either but I read it on the recommendation of a friend and so pleased I did. I loved the character Eric he had me laughing all the way through with the things he got up too & so funny how he got everyone to join in with his ‘would you rather’ game. Well written & refreshing to read the great Geordie humour! couldn’t wait to turn the page to find out what was going to happen next! Perfect mix of comedy, sci-fi and realism and it was one of those books that I just didn’t want to end.
