The Improbable Tale is a first person space comedy written through the eyes of a failed journalist pursuing the ultimate story. From the frozen wastelands of Antarctica to the depths of outer space, the story follows the hilarious journey of narrator Tam Husband as he becomes the universe’s final hope in a vengeful alien race’s dastardly plot to destroy all of civilisation.
From the secluded iron planet Fiz-Yelda to the mysterious Valley of Frozen Souls, Tam’s journey takes in some of the most mind-boggling locations imaginable with a misfit cast of characters who readers will come to love.
But above all this is a tale of friendship, love and the determination of a small group of outcasts to succeed in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
The book reached the final 14 in the sci fi category in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards 2011, where leading US magazine Publisher’s Weekly praised its “light, consistent and fun tone” and the official Amazon review panel described the “very witty, flowing novel.”
