    About this ebook

    This book is really good. It may even come to be a standard reference text for undergraduate students who wish to fail their arts degree with flying colours. This is speculative fiction at its best; a family of cannibal clowns has a birthday party; the ghost of communism speaks to us from beyond the grave; and as far as retro Sci-Fi genres go, George Jetstone & his family of misfits takes us back to the ice-age, long before the steam engine began to replace horses, donkeys or pet mammoths...

    Author

    Randal J. Junior

    As a student of literature for the past eight years, the author has endeavoured to learn the art of compression; reducing the infinite into the barest minimum of words required to hook the reader’s interest, cast doubt within their mind and then dispel it with either an inconclusive twist or an enduring sense of finality. As a failed student of philosophy, Randal J. Junior has been beaten into the school of weary acceptance after finding that all human endeavour is fraught with either idealism or an opportunistic narcissism. But she/he still has faith in humanity and believes that we all learn something new every day.

      The doctors assured me the shrapnel in my leg would do no further harm if they “let sleeping dogs lie,” or at least less harm than trying to take it out would cause. “Hey,” I asked them. “What if it decides to cut its way out all on its own?” My grea
