Double Infinity is the fourth science fiction novel in the hilarious Brent Bolster Investigations series by author Michael Campling, and it is reminiscent of writers such as Douglas Adams and Red Dwarf creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.
In this instalment, Vince Claybourne, having gotten fed up with being underappreciated as Brent’s Associate, has now jumped ship and signed up as a trainee investigator for another agency, Scarlet Fedora. However, loaded down with debt, and a girlfriend to impress, Vince takes on a dangerous side gig in a desperate bid to increase his earnings.
When Vince’s behaviour becomes a little too erratic, a worried Maisie turns to Brent and Rawlgeeb for help. Encouraged by the idea of a simple, easy case, and the even rarer phenomenon of money coming into the business, instead of out, Brent quickly agrees to investigate his old associate. However, things never quite go smoothly for Brent, and even less so for poor, unassuming Vince.
Meanwhile, with the Gloabons and Andelians on the verge of war, the one person capable of diffusing the situation has picked a hell of a time to take a holiday. Can Dex get back to The Kreltonian Skull in time to save the day?
Once again, Mr. Campling has produced another cracking sci-fi novel in the Brent Bolster series. With plenty of nail-biting action, comedy one-liners and intriguing story, along with all of the humans, aliens and cybonic lifeforms that we’ve come to know and love from the first three books, I don’t know about you, but this is definitely my favourite series of Michael’s so far.
Double Infinity is a top notch book at 5 out of 5 stars, but the only thought going through my brain right now is, wouldn’t those Gloabons look great on TV? Maybe Rawlgeeb was onto something with that Face-streme idea of his.

Double Infinity: (Brent Bolster Space Detective Book 4) - a review by Rosemary Kenny
*slight spoilers*
Wow! Michael (Mikey) Campling's books - especially his latest, Double Infinity - just keep getting better and better! Think Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Red Dwarf, meets Dr Who and that only just scratches the surface of Mr Campling's amazing diverse creational talent in Book 4 of his fantastic Brent Bolster Space Detective series.
Complete with an impending Earth invasion by Andelians, (ordered by Commander Squernshall, aboard his space cruiser The Glaubon), to quell an uprising led by Kate, of Earth's rebel army, an unexpected romance between new citizen of Earth, Rawlgeeb and Commande Xander's sidekick Breamell, the return of 'bad penny' Maisie (who always brings trouble with her), Vince, who's just as bad at getting into said trouble when she brings it, Zeb and Dex, the comic duo of Andelians who've come to Earth, to infiltrate and report back on the GIT's (Gloabon Institute of Technology), scheming and of course our indomitable Space Detective Supreme himself, Mr Brent Bolster to generally throw a spanner in ill-intentioned aliens' works and come to the rescue of fair maidens in distress, wherever they may be found, in his usual incomparably impetuous way.
This tongue-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud space opera should come with a warning for those with a weak disposition or bladder muscles, as by the time you start laughing uncontrollably, it'll be too late to reach for the heart medication or the nearest toilet - you have heard it here first!
Don't miss the amazing Michael Campling's fantastic fourth Brent Bolster adventure, Double Infinity, at any cost - it'll blow your mind out-of-this-world - guaranteed!

If you haven’t read any of Michael Campling’s satirical scifi, get ready for a treat. This series is written with the attention to detail of any of the author’s more serious work but adds a twist of humor that is sure to please.
Things just aren’t the same around Brent Bolter’s detective agency lately, not without Vince. Since moving in with Maisie, Vince has taken a job at a different agency. Maisie tends to be high maintenance and Vince’s old salary, when he got one, just didn’t cut it anymore.
Business hasn’t been too great lately for Brent and Rawlgeeb. In fact, it has been a while since their last client. If they don’t come up with some strategy for getting new clients soon, the agency just might go under.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the galaxy, the Kreltonian Skull is invaded by the devious AI that calls himself Jason. He soon exerts his influence on the ship’s commander setting their eyes to world domination. Humans have already lost their planet’s control to the Gloabons. Will they survive the Kreltonians?
