But now the colony is refusing to take orders from London - and London has decided to send in the troops. Anthony Stevens and Cleopatra Shakespeare, abducted by a UFO from England, have found themselves in a war that both sides may lose - because there is an ancient enemy out among the stars, one that watches squabbles between nations in the same way a child pits insects against each other in an ant farm.

"The author has a dry sense of humour which often had me chuckling out loud." "Intelligent, imaginative and very funny." "As well written and ridiculous as only British humor can be." "Ridiculously good fun." "For a young adult, this is a five star novel with the depth and pacing appropriate to the audience." "My fourteen-year-old enjoyed it and wants more." "Absolutely a hoot, and the concept really allows for imaginations to run riot." "A fantastic read, as mad as it is intelligent this book gripped me from page one and I couldn't put it down until the end. I am now reading the second in the series and can't believe that we're not watching this on TV yet. TV producers please take note - a little gem!" "Brilliant, off-the-wall comedy (with some serious back story)." "Very sarcastic, rollicking and just plain fun." "Just take my word for it and read it. You will love it!" " Hilarious! Thrilling! Magnificent! Bloody well wizard!"
