Space Captain Smith!
Space Captain Smith has only just been release but I had the privalidge of an advanced copy - basically its the British Empire in space plenty of stiff upper lips, daring-do, and a hefty quantity of tea!

As someone more adept with words than me said: "Set in a universe where the suns never set on a stiff upper lip, this warm-hearted and funny interstellar romp gives the sacred cows of sci-fi a good kicking before racing home in time for tea."

So it's a great book - but what's important to me is that the bloke who wrote it is one of my oldest friends and he's been dreaming of getting published for the 18 odd years I've known him, so now the book is proof that it is possible to live your dreams... Even if you're a workshy lolly-gagger! Which is nice!


For anyone who wants to buy it (and you should!) you can get it from Amazon and Waterstones.

Length? Fairly short but the sequel is released in September!

I want....
Shameless plugging there, well done, It's worked. I want a copy now.


EDIT: Damn, just lost half a days revision becuase I couldnt put the damn thing down.

And for the bloke underneath, not really, its just a light hearted sci-fi/adventure comedy/parody.

And sodding brilliant with it.
