BEN'S LEAVING CARD
What the text says:
In a hostile universe, a galaxy at war, an impossible love grows up from the ashes of hate ...
He was a Zorkian space commando, an alien killing machine from a race which hates all earthlings.
She was an Earth princess, the first female brain surgeon in Terra Space Command, caught up in the biggest battle in the history of the cosmos.
They were thrown together after both crashing on the arid planet of Tinkywinky V, forced by the mutual need for survival to work together, despite their races' mutual hostility. Will he disembowel her or will he learn to love her? Can she see his inner beauty, looking beyond his green skin, six eyes, and the fact that he talks through his navel? Will his affection for her outweigh his Zorkian oath to zap all earthlings with his super-phaser blaster? Does she only want him because every part of his body is twice the size of an earth man's (and we mean everything)? Will their passion be extinguished by the maelstrom of intergalactic war?
This stirring masterpiece will lift your soul and stretch your imagination but beware: it may also put you off your food.
Just look at what the critics are saying:
"A gargantuan galactic gobstopper of a book ... the Romeo and Juliet of the space age, but with less fancy dialogue and lot more tentacles ..." - Times Literary Supplement.
"I wish I'd thought of it first" - Jo Lyon, Information World Review.
"A load of b*ll*cks" - The Bookseller.
