"Expert Assistance" - humorous science fiction

RobertLCollins · 09-26-2011, 05:10 PM

Hello!

Allow me to tell you about my first published novel, Expert Assistance. I re-released it earlier this year with a new cover, in print and in ebook formats. Here's what it's about:

To get out of debt, spacer Jake Bonner takes on two odd jobs. The first, chauffeur pop star Evvie Martini on her tour; the second, helping Daniel and Clarissa Rosen overthrow their planet’s tyrannical ruler.

Unfortunately for Jake, Evvie finds out about his second assignment and, hoping to advance her career, invites herself to the revolution. From there the absurdity grows for Jake and his band of “freedom fighters.”

EA pokes fun at revolutions, pop culture, and some of the cliches of sci-fi.

And here's where you can find it:

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LGS7KO

Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/expe...ins/1100076639

Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/39734

By the way, a fellow author is having a giveaway to celebrate the release of a new book. A Kindle is the big prize; EA is one of the many smaller ones. You can learn more here: http://redtash.com/bash
