Too Good To Be True: A dystopian science fiction humor adventure
If you like planet-based dystopian science fiction adventure - with added British comedy - then hopefully you will enjoy this book.
When trouble comes knocking, meet the one man dumb enough to answer the door
When The Pan of Hamgee encounters some mudlarkers trying to land a box on the banks of the River Dang he is happy to help. Having accepted a share of the contents as a reward he cannot believe his luck. It contains one of the most expensive delicacies available in K'Barth, Goojan spiced sausage. If he can sell it, the sausage might spell the end of his troubles. On the other hand, knowing his luck, it could bring a whole load more.
Too Good To Be True is the fourth book in the Hamgeen Misfit, dystopian humorous science fiction series. It is set in a contemporary dystopia, in a parallel reality but there is some futuristic technology. There is an overall story arc, but these funny comedy stories are written to be stand alone and can be read in any order. Too Good To Be True is written in British English and is the fourth in the Hamgeean Misfit series of comedy sci fi fantasy dystopian stories. It can be read as a stand alone book. Estimated rating of this book is: U (PEGI7/E10) or G (general). Estimated rating for the series: PG (PEGI12/E10).
INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q – Hmm ... More K'Barthan stuff. Is that a good idea?
A – I hope so. Amazingly, my readers asked for more so I suggested they tell me what they want to know. These are the results. But also, because I pretty much live in K'Barth anyway. The less brain power I have to devote to Normal Life the better as far as I'm concerned. Isn't there a saying, somewhere, that if the book you want to read hasn't been written, you must write it?
While I have to own up to a nod to reader requests here, I also wrote this series for me. A lot of it is a homage to the things I love: StarWars, Adams, Pratchett, Dr Who, StarTrek, Red Dwarf, Jasper Fforde jeez, even PG Wodehouse - oh to get anywhere close.
Hopefully, anyone reading will like the same things as I do: a bit of world building, strong characters, what, I hope, is pithy, witty dialogue (or dialog) and of course, characters who are flawed and stuff up, and are not beautiful, misfits, ne'r do wells etc. There's not one skinny woman in a leather jumpsuit anywhere in this series. I like writing characters who have zero combat skills, putting them in a situation where they could really do with knowing how to fight and seeing how they cope with nothing but their wits - I'm mean like that.
... Oh and of course the snurds. You've got to love a flying car, right?
