Interstellar Caveman #2
Faulty Prophet
Colin’s supposed to deliver a prophecy. Problem is, he forgot what to say…
Evangelist Brock T. Hanson believes Colin Douglass to be the prophet he’s been waiting for his whole life, the man who will lead the faithful back to Earth and trigger the most momentous event since Creation itself. But there’s a problem.
Actually, there are several.
First, Colin Douglass himself doesn’t believe a word of it and is the kind of chap who’d rather stay at home with a nice cup of tea than cross the galaxy on some foolish, idealistic crusade. Second, Earth lies within the territory of the Transhackers, a race of cold-blooded, trigger-happy cyborgs who don’t easily forgive those who trespass against them. And third, Colin Douglass might not even survive a trip to Earth because he is succumbing to a life-threatening illness.
When Hanson kidnaps Colin and takes him to Earth anyway, Tyresa Jak sets off in hot pursuit to rescue Colin before either the Transhackers or his disease can destroy him.
The rollicking space adventure continues in this hilarious sequel to Interstellar Caveman. The only way you’ll stop reading, is when you fall off the chair from laughter.
Also available on Audible, narrated by Steve West.

Fine action series continued
No surprise that the caveman was full of surprises. Lots of interesting excursions combined with Street priests, fake doctors, mutated meddled humans, and energy beings.

Faulty Prophet is a fun and twisted sci-fi comedy reminiscent of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker series. It features the continuing misadventures of Colin Douglass, who has been stumbling from one misfortune to another since his awakening from cryogenic sleep. Colin isn't anything close to your classic sci-fi hero and manages to get himself in and out of absurd situations by dumb luck.
I think this sequel to Interstellar Caveman was every bit as good as the first book. Both books use Colin's experiences in the future as a satirical take on the ridiculousness of the "modern" age. Most of the jokes are lighthearted and creative, but they could sometimes get ridiculous enough to distract from the story or highlight the implausibility of the futuristic setting. Overall, I found the entertainment value of the humor and jokes to outweigh the absurdity of the situations that Colin found himself in, but true die-hard science fiction fans may find it a bit too much.
Special thanks to Aethon Books, who provided me this book free of charge at my request.
