Product Description

Product Description

It's the age-old tale of boy meets alien abductor. Boy meets stun-gun. Boy learns he's the only one in the Universe who can save the Earth from extreme world makeover by inter-stellar landlords. (Yeah: he thinks it's a bit much, too.) Like everyone else on his planet, Bertram Ludlow hasn't paid much attention to fluctuations in the intergalactic real estate market. But as a cognitive psychology grad student, he has given some thought to what a complete mental breakdown looks like. And this is pretty close. Now he’s discovering space is a mad and mind-boggling place where interspecies communication rests on the power of a gumball. Where androids demand better work/life balance. Where crime is Art, technology still has its bugs, and lasers don’t go "pyew-pyew." It's also surprisingly easy to get on the Universe's Most Wanted list. So with the weight of the world on his shoulders and the cosmic law on his tail, can Bertram outrun, outwit, and out-bid to save the Earthling squatters from one spaced-out redevelopment plan?

Well paced book with lots of imagination and a good sense of humour. The author's style reminded me somewhat of Douglas Adams and although I think Douglas Adams was definite the better writer, There Goes the Galaxy is very entertaining throughout and kept me interested right to the end - which was very abrupt indeed, no doubt so as to leave room for a sequel, which I will look forward to reading in due course. If this is the standard he will maintain, then I very much hope the author will carry on writing for many years to come. A good job.

Fantastic read 2 May 2012

Not many books make me laugh aloud but this one did. Intelligently written, this is a fantastically amusing, clever, witty and astute piece of Sci Fi. It's impossible to put down and I can't wait for the next book.

An excellent read 7 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
It's not often that I pick up a book that I just can't put down, but this was definitely one of those times. From trying to hide the kindle in the middle of what I was *supposed* to be doing to just plain going and hiding somewhere to read 'just the next bit' this book was unstoppable until the end. This is funny, crazy, geeky sci-fi at its best that kept me mashing the page-turn button time after time. If you loved The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy then you'll absolutely love this as well. Go, read it. Now.
