War of the Coffee bean - An Alienbutt story by Glenn Scrimshaw
5.0 out of 5 stars
Coffee, Kebabs, drunken spaceship commanders. Chaos reins? You don't say!,
This review is from: War of the Coffee Bean (Alienbutt Saga) (Kindle Edition)
Meet a new kind of hero - one that doesn't particularly want the job.
Alienbutt is destined to save the universe but there are some that believe something has gone drastically wrong with prediction as a science - Alienbutt is amongst them. He swigs whiskey like there's no tomorrow - and sometimes wishes there wasn't. He concocts his own lethal variant of chilli sauce for his kebabs and poddles along in his own way, making a name for himself, against his own better judgement.
Glenn Scrimshaw has created a universe where the impossible happens more than 6 times before breakfast, every day. The characters are wonderfully deep and engaging and the storyline is reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide, Red Dwarf and Starship Troopers (without the bugs).
I read the book twice and found bits that made me laugh out loud all over again. The imagery is fantabulous and the story drags the reader into deep space and beyond, following along behind (but not too close behind) an alien with 4 butt holes and chronic bad wind.
