Goodies, Baddies and a Volcano Kindle Edition

by Chris Howley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
See all formats and editions
Getting struck by lightning tends to be bad for one's health - often fatally so - but for Rob Michael and Bert Bruce it had quite the opposite effect; it made them immortal.

That was just the start of their problems.

Having made a connection with the ancient and bad tempered alien, Humphrey, they must now help him travel across Europe to find the volcano his ship is hidden in, (if he can remember which volcano). Encountering on the way a father and daughter illusionist act, an intimidating German family with a shady secret, and a bureaucrat with a clip board. Oh and all the while avoiding a couple of psychotic doctors who want to do very unpleasant things to them - over and over and over again.
But the three of them don't have to face these perils alone, Bert's sister Sally is coming along to help - she writes greetings cards for a living.

If you like a smattering of sci-fi with your fast-paced, comedy adventure, then you should probably read Goodies, Baddies and a Volcano.

5.0 out of 5 stars By John (Devon) 18-05-2017

This book is narrated by Rob who tells the story of his and his lifelong friend Bert’s precarious trek across Europe to far eastern Russia. The story tells of how the two 30 somethings, who have been content to drift through life, suddenly have the gift or curse of immortality thrust upon them. Rob and Bert’s mission is to help Humphry, the grumpy alien, locate his space craft so that he can return to his planet. Bert’s bossy sister decides that she will tag along to keep a watchful eye on the hapless duo.This fast moving story set in the current time swings from amputations to The Teddy Bears Picnic to Indiana Jones with lots of laugh out loud humour along the way. There are many twists and turns along the way. This is the author’s first book and his innovative way of describing actions and facial expressions would be a credit to a seasoned author.The underlying genre of the book is humour with tongue in cheek sci-fi containing more laughter than sci-fi. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh. A note of caution, read it in a room alone as my laughter distracted the other people in the area.I like the style Chris has developed using his flair for mixing adventure and humour. I hope Chris has another book in him, if so I can’t wait to read his next book.

This fast paced comedy adventure had me laughing out loud. Friends Rob and Bert enjoy getting drunk and basically not doing very much else with their lives. Getting struck by lightening turns out to be the most exciting (and dangerous) thing that has ever happened to them, as they become immortal and end up being chased across Europe by two psychotic doctors while trying to help an alien get back to his ship. A great fun read and in my opinion, would make an hilarious film!

This book is really very good, you have an almost instant connection with the two main characters and find yourself relating to their trials and tribulations. It is the first book i have read that has actually made me laugh out loud. It is fast paced and there is never a dull moment. The author has genuine talent and i for one hope he writes another book. You will not regret buying and reading this!

This witty, silly, fun novel is a great read for anyone looking for some light hearted humour. Think of the film hot fuzz but in book format.

I haven't finished it yet but I will be sad when I have finished. It's given me some real laugh out loud moments which aren't entirely appropriate on a busy commuter train!

Fully justifies 5 stars for me!

I brought this book for my husband to read. He said it was an excellent book and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading. I thought I would give it a go thinking to myself it's not really my thing, but was amazed how much I enjoyed it. Give it a go.
