Product Description

Synopsis
The Apocalypse starts here...in this startling literary breakthrough In these apocalyptic 'scenes from a history as yet unwritten', America has become hopelessly bogged down in a protracted Operation Desert Storm. Elvis has returned from the dead as a tormented political assassin, there are aliens in the White House and giant monsters on the rampage. Factor in crazed combat robots, the total destruction of Japan, insane conspiracy theories and huge quantities of mindless blood-spattered violence, then get ready for the end of all creation in this stunning literary debut. Illustrated by legendary underground artist Savage Pencil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping futuristic cult-fiction, 19 Feb 2002
I'm not really much of a SciFi fan, so when a friend gave me a copy of Destroy All Monsters, I was somewhat uncertain (not to meention sceptical) of what to expect. Sentiments that proved to be unfounded as "Destroy..." is certainly one of the most exciting new books that I have come across lately.

The book starts as a tangle of threads of different stories that Hollings skilfully knits together with punchily written soundbites that unite to form a gripping, at times terrifying, often hilarious and unfailingly bizarre futuristic storyline.

It is a credit to Hollings' writing that while events that form the storyline spiral beyond the believable, the main characters remain resolutely "human" such that it is possible to empathise with them throughout.

Lastly, be sure to look out for the non-human characters too - Hollings' monsters are as terrifying as anything in the best Japanese cartoon strip tradition, and puppy is certainly the cutest (not to mention cleverest) small animal i have ever met
