Funny SF: Am 12. April erscheint STRINGERS von Chris Panatier
Mit FunÂny FanÂtaÂsy oder FunÂny SF ist das so eine Sache. Das kann granÂdiÂos werÂden, wie die KlasÂsiÂker von TerÂry PratÂchett, Robert Asprin, Piers AnthoÂny oder DouÂglas Adams, es kann aber auch hart in die Hose gehen. Die BeschreiÂbung des In KĂĽrÂze erscheiÂnenÂden Romans STRINGERS von Chris PanÂaÂtier liest sich ganz vielÂverÂspreÂchend:
KnowÂledge can get you kilÂled. EspeÂciÂalÂly if you have no idea what it means.
Ben is not a geniÂus, but he can spout facts about aniÂmals and wristÂwatÂches with the best of experts. He just can’t explain how he knows any of it.
He also knows about the ChiÂme. What it is or why it’s important he couldn’t say. But this knowÂledge is about to get him in a whoÂle heap of trouÂble.
After he and his best friÂend PatÂton are abducÂted by a trash-talÂking, fleÂsh-conÂsÂtruct aliÂen bounÂty hunÂter, Ben finds out just how much he is worth… and how danÂgeÂrous he can be. HopÂefulÂly PatÂton and a stubÂborn jar of pickÂles will be enough to help him through. BecauÂse being able to descriÂbe the mating habits of BraÂziÂliÂan bark lice isn’t going to save them.
STRINGERS erscheint am 12. April 2022 bei Angry Robot, Das TaschenÂbuch kosÂtet knapp 15 Euro, fĂĽr das eBook werÂden knapp zehn Euro fälÂlig (zuminÂdest bei AmaÂzon, PreiÂse beim deutÂschen BuchÂhanÂdel sind verÂmutÂlich höher).
Klingt sehr vielÂverÂspreÂchend, ich hab das eBook gleich mal vorÂbeÂstellt.
