About this listen
Look out there's a monster coming
The Ministry of Serendipity control everything. They run this world from their secret underground lair beneath Mornington Crescent Underground Station in London. And when they learn of the crashed alien spacecraft lying at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, they send out their crack team of paranormal investigators to recover it. The Fortean superstars that are Sir John Rimmer, Dr Harney, and the psychic youth himself, Mr Danbury Collins.Secret dossiers suggest that this spacecraft contains a mad alien that was once worshipped as a god because of its terrible telepathic powers. And that it is even now lying in suspended animation, awaiting its time to rise again and rule the world once more. Danbury's special senses tell him that the best thing to do would be to nuke the creature now before it wreaks havoc on Mankind. But does anyone listen? No!
Porrig has been left something in his uncle's will. It might be a bookshop, it might be a planet, or it might be a doorway into another dimension. And Porrig is worried, because he has learned a great and terrible secret. But will anyone listen to him when he tries to tell them? No!
It's a pity that people rarely listen, because, in this case, had they troubled to do so, the world would have been spared from all the madness and mayhem, the thousands fleeing in terror, the mad monster laying waste to half of London and the dirty great explosion at the end. But then, there wouldn't have been much of a story if they had listened.

Hitchhiker's guide vibes
Easy and jolly read light hearted and brilliantly performed, reminded me a lot of Hitchhiker's guide in terms of comic value.

Appalling reading by the author
Very strange intonation, pauses and rhythm make this horrible to listen to. Had to give up, even though the story was engaging. Don't give up your day job, Mr Rankin.

brilliant but...
I loved the story but the talk about trannies was very jarring, even with the character professing to be bisexual the transphobia was unneeded.

A great surprise
The master a his best
If you enjoy a good laugh go for it I do recommend it.
And I really enjoyed this one and the Brentford trilogy well you will get no spoilers from me.
Somehow I think that he had a terrible experience with a sprout in his younger day's. That has marked him for life.
But that is a different story.

When authors narrate………
Sometimes it’s better to let someone else read ‘your’ story. I cannot finish this book as the author has decided to read his own work, and though he may be a fantastic writer (unfortunately I can’t finish listening to give an opinion) a narrator he is not!
