A fun romp , September 4, 2005
Reviewer: Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA)

When punk rocker Seeth rescues someone from arrest at the local bowling alley, it all seems like a harmless lark. But, when the cops turn out to be murderous aliens, Seeth and the bookworm Kerwin soon find themselves running for their lives. Accidentally picking up airhead style-queen Miranda, they set off for the stars on the adventure of a lifetime!

This is quite a fun little book. Shift your brain into neutral and suspend your disbelief as you will quickly find a universe filled with extremely odd creatures doing extremely odd things, while the situation becomes odder and odder. I mean, this is not Isaac Asimov teaching a lesson, instead this book is a fun romp through all sorts of strange adventures. By the way, did you realize that the most important thing in the universe is shopping? Well, get this book and learn more!
