Why has computer repair man Dee Johnsson suddenly found himself stranded on a planet on the other side of the galaxy? How could he be so far from Earth and still be able to get a takeaway pizza, a bowl of ice cream and an awesome cup of tea? Does he stand a chance of getting off with Yvla, the foxiest female alien since that green chick in Star Trek? Find out in 'Far Out', the debut novel from Ireland's latest sci-fi guy,Tom Andrews.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tangled web of a story which begins with poor Dee Johnsson being transported straight off his loo onto another planet. And if that wasn't an embarrassing enough occurrence, there are four little green men in the room to which he has been transported. It's an amusing and action filled adventure with quirky unique characters and a dry wit permeates the story. A light, fun read with some nicely embedded twists. Very well written and edited. It's crying out for a sequel. Ok, I admit, it may indeed be me that's doing the crying, I just really want to know what adventure Dee and his four little green buddies, one colour-changing female alien and a very tall, four-armed, pothead alien by the name of Burf, get themselves tangled up in next! Highly recommend.
