Teleport This

Teleport This is a fast paced, comedy adventure that is out of this world - literally. It's science fiction without the extra heavy baggage found in hardcore space operas or the ultra-wackiness found in satirical sci-fi novels. An enjoyable read not only for sci-fi fans, but for anyone that likes witty dialogue and interesting characters coupled with an absorbing storyline.

"Not only is your entire premise beyond belief, but not even you would be presumptuous enough to contact extraterrestrial life as the sole representative of all mankind."
"Sure, I already did. They sent me an application starter kit."

And with that, Simon and Gilbert, two terrestrial physicists, leave Earth and stumble into and across a larger universe. Fortunately, they brought along enough tequila to help them through their strategy sessions which become more and more necessary as they get tangled up with a wide assortment of extraterrestrial characters and fall head first into intergalactic trouble. Good thing for them someone had the foresight to invent artificial gravity.

"We've got a private untraceable teleport station at our disposal, free of charge."
"Wow, this is one of my childhood dreams coming true," said Simon.
"Next we'll see if we can make you invisible in a girl's locker room. That should cap it for you," quipped Lyn.

Paired off with freighter captain Elli and private investigator Lyn, Simon and Gilbert traipse through the universe, trying desperately to find their way back to Earth in one piece and possibly purchase a working lightsaber or two along the way...

5A Fun Read  Oct 28, 2009
By Lauren A. Donovan
Teleport This is a great example of witty and fun science fiction. The characters are very entertaining and the story moves along very quickly, without getting bogged down in technobabble. It begins on present day earth, focused on main characters Gilbert and Simon, but they're quickly complemented with a variety of other characters, specifically a couple of take charge girls that set the boys straight as they bop around the universe. It's fun watching Gilbert and Simon develop from geeks to guys over the course of the story. The best part is that you don't need to be a science fiction lover to enjoy this book.

Sci-fi fans will appreciate the semi-veiled references to other books and movies, but anyone looking for a good read will enjoy the story and its humorous dialogue.

5Just what I needed  Dec 29, 2010
By Cal Zephyr
I was slogging through a different sci-fi book by some major author when someone recommended this. It was a breath of fresh air. Quick read, doesn't take itself seriously, and fun. I've just downloaded the next in this series and I'm looking forward to it.


5Great fun  Dec 12, 2010
By Alan Cummings
This is a very fun and original story. It moves along fast and is pure entertainment. I was a little leery of buying a book from this unknown-to-me author, but it was the right move! Highly recommended.

5A fun romp across the universe  Feb 22, 2010
By Angelo Rivardo
I recommend this novel for anyone looking for a good story with a fair amount of humor mixed in. I think the best way to describe it is something like The Bang Theory meets Doctor Who and Charlie's Angels. And that would be the latest renditions of the Doctor and the Angels.



Interesting and funny, that's what this is and that's how I like them.
