Avis de l'équipe
A weird and wonderful romp through the galaxy in the grand tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. The plot involves multiple worlds and dimensions, a post-apocalyptic Earth, a religious leader named Dalai Lama Dan, Elvis (with a talking sprout embedded in his brain), and plenty of commentary on religion, television, and pop culture. Performed by author Robert Rankin himself in a warm English accent, and stuffed with laugh-out-loud humor. Some might find the plot a bit complex, although plenty of others will enjoy the wackiness and touches of true comic brilliance.
Description
From the point of view of 2050, you're history. Theological warfare. Elvis on an epic time-travel journey - the Presliad. Buddhavision - a network bigger than God (and more powerful, too). Nasty nuclear leftovers. Naughty sex habits. Dalai Dan (the 153rd reincarnation of the Lama of that ilk) and Barry, the talkative Time Sprout.
Even with all this excitement, you wouldn't think a backwater planet like Earth makes much of a splash in the galatic pond. But the soap opera called The Earthers is making big video bucks in the intergalactic ratings race. And alien TV execs know exactly what the old earth drama needs to make the off-world audience sit up and stare: a spectacular Armageddon-type finale. With a cast of millions - including you! Don’t touch that dial - it’s gonne be one helluva show…
Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales. The Morning Star describes him as 'The Master of Silliness', and his publisher describes him as ‘The Master of Far Fetched Fiction’. He is the author of more than thirty novels, of which he has sold millions of copies, and he makes people laugh around the world.
Robert loves going on tour, signing books for readers, and his appearances at signings and conventions are legendary, often including a stand-up routine, a song (accompanied by his 'air-ukulele'), and an always-entertaining question-and-answer session.
