Product Description

Product Description

When the Internet collapses, society responds almost immediately…by having a meltdown.
While civilization is steadily destroying itself, IT cubicle-jockey and cyberspace junkie Brent Porter enlists the help of his grumpy office building security guard, Mickey, to find his missing computer gamer girlfriend, Molly. The trouble is, Molly’s fallen down her laundry basket and into a lewd and confusing world of nonsense, in a retelling of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with a twist: the heroine is dumped into the deepest, darkest bowels of the Internet.
So while Brent and Mickey are searching for Molly in a city that’s gone to complete chaos, and Molly’s fighting off porn freaks, viruses, and scammers, who’s going to save humanity from the Internet (and itself)? Well, that would be the Downriver Boys, a group of homeless people who’ve never had to rely on technology to survive. These vigilant vagabonds, led by a war veteran and a half-brilliant, half-insane madwoman, will have to rely on everything they know about survival so that Brent, Mickey, and Molly will even have something to come back to.

Awesome book! 28 Feb 2012
By Jen
Format:Kindle Edition
Been following the blog for a while now and it never fails to raise a laugh; well written, extremely humorous and identifiable with - pure genius.

The book did not disappoint. Good story, believable characters and plenty of laugh (and snigger) out loud moments.

Easily worth the money. Can't wait for the next one.

A Good Read 21 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I've been following the blog the authors of this book write for a while now, and when I they said they had finally released their book, I knew that I would buy it. It's just what I expected from them, it's funny, it's well written, with a good story and it's not too long so you'll fly through it. Though you should take the time to enjoy it too.

An engaging and creative ride 28 Dec 2011
By Dickerson P. A. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Writtem by two authors, the prose is woven together with such deft skill that it appears as if only one writers voice is speaking. Based in part on Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland, the authors manage to transform a classic into a modern tale fit for today's world. Using multiple viewpoints, The Missing Link, takes us on a journey as seen through the eyes of Brent, an IT specialist, his girlfriend Molly and an unexpected group of homeless people who are much more than they seem to be. Filled with fantastical creatures from iconic fantasy and combined with recognizable elements of the modern world, The Missing Link also stands as an allegorical tale on par with The Lord Of The Flies. Through the use of humour and vivid imagery the writers remind us that that our dependance on technology comes at the expense of our most basic human needs and ultimately the loss of our humanity.

Clever and Hilarious! 15 Feb 2012

After reading this book, I can no longer click "like" on Facebook without feeling like Twiddledum: "Ding! Twiddledum loves this!"

This book is a fantastic spin on the Alice tale, but instead of through the looking glass it's through the laundry basket, and Wonderland just so happens to be the internet. You'll find knights and trolls, spammers and cards, even gamers and gobliguanas. You heard me.

There's a good chance you'll see yourself somewhere in this story, if not several places, and so much rings true for the internet today.

As far as this book having been written by two different authors, you won't notice that within the writing, which is seamless.

Very much worth the purchase price!

These guys have a hilarious website that they pour their hearts into. This book is no different. Inside you'll find an interesting plot, humor for the internet age, and awesome 8-bit artwork. At a price so inexpensive, you'd be dumb not to enjoy this book.

Here is their website. It is easily one of my favorite blogs. [...]
