Have you ever wondered what would happen if the contents of a shared house based in the heart of deepest darkest Cornwall get caught up in a plot to rid the universe of inefficiency?
Colin was drifting through life, not so much part of the slacker generation, as positivley flaccid. He shared a house in a forgotten village in deepest darkest Cornwall, as some people do. He had a crush on Sally, his man-hating saucepan wielding housemate, as only he did. He also lived with Gregg who had aspirations to be a world famous alternative stand-up comedian without actually being funny at all. Again, Colin was in a field of one there too.
Life was safe, predictable, some would even say dull.
Then Colin had an encounter in a toilet that would change his life forever.
Watch out people, the health and safety police are coming. Can Colin and his friends save us?
Life's A Gas - a comedy sci-fi love story with rude words and a few naughty scenes. Nothing that would shock Mary Whitehouse though. Well not now obviously.

You’ll probably even recognize the premise, chronically repressed Englishman caught up in an inter-Galactic adventure to save Earth from destruction. However, it’s not like a cover band playing a Led Zeppelin classic, Life’s a Gas is its... More >

"You'll want to read this!"
The book description had me laughing before I even read the actual book. Then I looked at the back cover and two words grabbed me: Oh dear.
"Colin had really got it all. Crap job. No money. Invisible love life. Dust strewn room in a shared house. Crush on a man-hating housemate. And then one day everything changed. We have been under scrutiny you see. Our way of life and Planet Earth is under threat. Only Colin and his friends can save us. Oh dear.”
Life’s A Gas is an imaginative, comedic plot set in a bizarre and interesting galaxy, peopled by characters you have to like, even the (usually inept) bad guys; a rollicking adventure with... More >
