The Ministry of Serendipity at Mornington Crescent runs everything. When it hears of a spacecraft that crashed into the Pacific 4000 years ago, it sends a team of paranormal investigators to recover it. Danbury Collins is on the team, but he isn't keen—what if a mad alien thaws out?

About the Author
At the age of eight, ROBERT RANKIN was given a conjuring so for Christmas. From that day on he determined that he would eventually pursue career as a stage magician. His father encouraged this ambition, rewarding his son's amateur Performances with a pat on the head and a shilling piece. By the age of twenty-one Robert Rankin had 100 and a flat head. And received his first kicking for retelling old jokes. He is the author of the Brentford Trilogy, the Armageddon Quartet and, his most recent, The Dance of the Voodoo Handbag.

The Truth IS Out There (deep under Morningstar Crescent),
By tracella@excite.com (Depths of Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apocalypso (Hardcover)
Great paranoid romp through the bowels of governmental and alien conspiracies. Why for God's sake is Douglas Adams published in the States and not Rankin. Only the men under Morningstar Crescent know for sure.

We should all be more like WOK BOY (!),
By phil_crimbo (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apocalypso (Hardcover)
If I had a penny for every time I giggled, sniggered or experienced any form of emotion whilst reading this book, I would have....I think. Rankin has written (another) fantastic peice here. All the characters are great (especially Wok Boy with his ideas agout ladies underwear. ahem) and all come together in the end in a grand finale involving an alien vegetable, Nelson's Column (and indeed all of Trafalgar Sq.), Magic and a bloody big explotion!

By Gwyngala (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apocalypso (Paperback)
A smile now & then, the odd good turn of phrase, but, see the title.
