Hey Everyone!! :-)
My friend, Claire Plaisted, is here today to tell us all about one of her favorite authors! Claire, take it away! :-)
Claire:
The Long Lost Future
Randall didn't know he had a destiny until it interrupted his lunch one day; and it was bigger than he could possibly have imagined (his destiny, not his lunch).
That's when he met the mysterious Marcus Han - brainier than a clumsy butcher's floor, and secretly the richest man in the world, he would be Randall's companion and mentor through the challenges they must face in their struggle to stop the entire Galaxy from vanishing.
With a supporting cast of talking trees, mutant psychics, bungling cops, extremely refined resistance operatives, military trained birds, enlightened mushrooms, hallucinating AI units, cutlery collecting crabs, and his definitely EX-girlfriend to help him, he must travel back in time to the twenty-first century and begin again in a new, less tyrannical timeline.
If his departed dad, the World Police, the Planimals, or the ancient aliens don’t stop him first that is…
About the author:
Ian Cattell is a software developer who wanted a change from staring blankly at a computer screen all day. So he decided to write a book.
Yeah, I know…
Over the next six months he learned that there are many advantages to writing a book compared to writing software, the main one being that he doesn't have to re-write it whenever Microsoft decides it's “time”.
Some reviews of The Long Lost Future from Amazon.co.uk
____________
A really fun Romp through space and time. I laughed out loud in some places and started my own game of 'get the reference'. More than a sci-fi parody, more than a nerd's accumulation of snippets from almost every tv, radio, film and book involving space or time ever made in the history of the universe ever. A really good story and a good read.
____________
Thoroughly enjoyed this marvellous tale. Well written, full of excitement, lots of great jokes and a big dose of proper old fashioned sci-fi. Looking forward to more.
A wonderfully eccentric take on time-travel and saving the universe. A real page turner, I enjoyed every second. First class.
____________
Fantastic read. Both intelligent and laugh out loud funny. Great plot from beginning to end, with humorous footnotes.
____________
If you want an adventure, sci fi, spy story with a twist? This ones for you, I laughed, felt sad, felt clever, you name it. The must read of 2017 by a fantastic new writer.....Go on give it a read, you know it makes sense!!!
____________
Funny and intelligent laughing out loud from the beginning
He best be quick writing the sequel!
____________
Bought this on a recommendation. So much better than I expected! Take the DNA of Adams and Pratchett, mix with a cutting cornucopia of modern issues, and add a huge dose of humour, and you not even close to how good The Long Lost Future is. Amazing and thoroughly engaging book, read it!
____________
A thoroughly enjoyable piece of modern literature. Witty, funny and very well told, this author is one to watch out for
____________
Really enjoyed this especially the twist in then end. Can't wait for the sequel
