How to Fix a Broken Numanoid Kindle Edition

★ This free ebook is an introduction to the novel Numan versus Numan, a dark comedy about two Gary Numan tribute acts. Alongside a free chapter, photos and videos, it gives a background about what inspired the book and why the author is writing an 'Alternative 80s' series.

Having been blown away by seeing Gary Numan perform on Top of The Pops in 1979, Five went out and put an ad in the paper to form a tribute band. He named it 'The Romford Bombers'. They soon went on to dominate the annual Essex battle of the Gary Numan tribute bands. Until last year that is, when 'The Storm Troopers' came out of nowhere and stole their crown.

The Bombers’ 56-year-old lead singer will do whatever it takes to win it back. He also has reason to believe The Storm Troopers are pursuing a hidden agenda, and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it.

As Five wrestles with his suspicions, the Romford and Dagenham Gary Numan Fan Club organise one final battle of the bands. The winner will become the all-time ultimate Numan tribute act. The stakes have never been higher.

Touching, coming of age reminiscences of 1980s Soho (the London one). Every teenage boy's dreams of forming a band and meeting the girl(s) you hope you'll get to sleep with. Not my era but relatable.

Cliched rubbish.
Avoid.
Thinks it's being funny & clever.
It isn't in the slightest.
Don't waste any time on this abomination.

A great introduction to Nicky Blue's excellent book Numan Versus Numan. You won't be disappointed by either. Very well written and viciously funny.
