Overview: Now available together for the first time, the complete Science Fiction Comedy series featuring Philip Humphrey Chandler as the socially inept hero who likes beer, coffee and breasts – but not necessarily in that order.
Genre: Science Fiction
Book 1: IN FAVOUR OF FOOLS – He may just be the hero you deserve
Phil is private investigator; he’s got a computer and a comfy chair, and he likes the easy life, working at his desk and dreaming about the girl behind the bar; the one with the breasts.
Then he meets the ex-wife of a missing crime lord, and everything changes. Suddenly he’s squirting to distant planets, finding dead bodies, dancing with aliens, saving a world from the clutches of the cutest of aliens and, for one brief moment, he becomes the richest man in the universe.
In a tale of treachery, danger, poor customer service and bad jokes, Phil is forced to put aside his relaxed ‘let someone else do the work’ attitude, and take up arms against the might of an alien empire and somehow find a way to save the day, and Earth’s most valuable commodity, and maybe even his dignity.
Book 2: WHAT KIND OF FOOL? – Now squirt-capable!
Phil and the gang are back, and so is Millie. This time, she means to make Phil pay for his role in preventing her becoming the richest little alien in the Universe, and she will put the balance of the Universe at risk to achieve her aims.
In a tale where Phil becomes Spiderman, Sam becomes Phil, and Julie becomes a convict, can Phil emerge as the hero his mother never said he would be, or will Millie succeed in her dastardly plans?
These questions, and many more, will be answered within the pages of Book 2 in this SF Comedy Thriller series.
And you can be sure that breasts will pop up when least expected in this unusual First Contact narrative.
Book 3: NOBODY PUTS A FOOL IN A CORNER – At last the hero!
Earth is under threat from an AI that has gone suddenly all Orwellian, and from a race of genocidal mushrooms who have a real problem with the number of legs we have.
Can Phil find a way to save the world from this double threat?
With a cameo appearance from Strange, and a deranged appearance from Mrs Masters (Ex), the final book in this science fiction comedy series takes Phil further from his comfy chair than he has ever been.
Follow Phil as he takes on light-sabre wielding robots and squishy aliens; as he attempts to bend an alien court to his will, despite not understanding a single sqawk they say.
With a bonus ‘Origins’ short story and a final lament from the Narrative Facilitator.
Don’t miss this last chance to laugh with Phil.
Bonus Content: THE EVENTUAL GLISTENING: an exclusive story from the Narrative Facilitator’s epic 27 volume Pixie Fantasy.
Lady Elvensong has been taken by the cruel Lord of the Esseldon. Can handsome Prince Lexicana and young Sally Sadly save her before the sun rises to touch her fair skin and change her forever?
