Raymond's had a rough couple of days. Snatched from his allotment by a flying starfish from Uranus and sold as a delicacy in a Venusian food market, it seems like his luck had changed when he is rescued by the travelling circus.
But then this isn't an ordinary circus; this is the circus of Professor Merlin, which drifts between the planets in a Victorian steamship, a circus whose artistes perform the feats that simply can't be done. And the professor has a little job for Raymond. Release the two hundred people held captive on Saturn and save Planet Earth from extinction by Friday.
Raymond's best friend Simon has been having a rough time too. Hunted by the men in grey, Simon is falsely accused of being a serial killer and is thrown into the clutches of the sinister B.E.A.S.T. (an End Times cult that worships the demonic half-man half-chicken, Sate-Hen).
Even with the book from the future and those villagers with the flaming torches to help them out, getting things sorted by Friday could be cutting it fine...

The sad thing is, if he'd explained that he was laughing at a character's name, and actually had stated that name, they would have given him withering looks. Instead, he had to pretend to be ill.
It's a very funny book, although not Rankins best. But read it anyway, and if you don't laugh at Long John's last name, you're a better man than I.
