In this book, humor is found to be the major theme. The. book starts in a future where “Earth’s survival hangs by a thread,”. The novel is told in three parts. Each part has eccentric characters and sequence of events that will make you laugh. In part one, one finds that the cream of the crop are selected to save humanity. They have unmatched expertise and dark secrets. Will they find a planet for them to live on? Part two has psychiatric hospital escapees who find themselves on a rocket to another planet. Will they survive on a planet that has a two-faced king and populated by part-animal, part-mechanical beings, Each character, with their quirky disorders has funny, if not hilarious misadventures. There is a twist in part three that shows the real truth about space exploration and the attack on the Earth’s potential last days of humanity, filled with cynical takes on human nature and technology's double-edged sword. It’s a book that made me roll my eyes an/ot laugh .
The author has written a novel of humor as I admit that I laugh more than what I thought I would. It also gave me something to think about what would earth do if our planet was doomed to die. If you want something funny about science fiction, this is the book to read.
