Sir William, a master in all things annoying and space garbage pilot from the planet Fidea, has been pulled away from his comfortable life of wearing slippers and listening to space metal to protect an Earth kid known only as “The Mac”. He has no idea why, but it is clear that the implications are dire, so William picks up his entire life and is forcefully injected into the world of suburbia where he has to watch after a sniveling teenager with girl problems and daddy issues. Thank god for the invention of sauerkraut and donuts.Mac’s mom has just died, the high school bullies have come out in full force, and his father, a once-famous wildlife photographer, is lost in Patagonia searching for the fabled Terror Bird that no one believes exists. Then, one day, Mac's world changes forever. A strange and potentially insane man enters his life and the impossible begins to materialize in front of his eyes.Is he doing this? The ice, the fire, things vibrating, squirrels speaking, garden gnomes moving . . . is it all him?What the hell is happening?Follow along as the journey of Sir William and The Mac begins in this hilarious, fast-paced first installment of the “Sir William & Mac Life Without Slippers” series from PJ Gilbers!
Ridiculous... Ridiculously entertaining! Disappointing... Disappointingly left me anxious to read more.
PJ Gilbers delivers a delightful tale of frightfully evil and cheerfully good characters involved in a grand galactic intrigue. At its center is The Mac, an average looking high school student upon whose shoulders the fate of the entire universe may ride. Sir William is the ever go-to guy the Circle can rely upon to find a way to get the job done.
It is up to Sir William to go to Earth–everyone's favorite vacation planet–to protect the Mac and his family from the sinister and powerful Demi-gods who wish to use him. But Sir William has a few tricks up his sleeve too-enough not only to survive suburbia, but to put up the good fight against evil.
This story is enjoyable and entertaining throughout. And Sir William, with or without his slippers, makes for a wonderful evening companion.
