What if all the intelligent humans abandoned Earth... and we're what's left?

Unfortunately, thanks to humanity's penchant for fighting, a Human/People conflict is brewing. She could almost forget she's not on Earth, except the People have tails and don't slap idiot warning labels on everything.

Produktbeschreibung
What if all the intelligent humans abandoned Earth... and we're what's left? Samantha is a journalist who travels through the wormhole to New Atlantis and discovers that embarrassing reality when she meets the People, humanity's more intelligent-and smugly superior-distant relatives. Unfortunately, thanks to humanity's penchant for fighting, a Human/People conflict is brewing. She could almost forget she's not on Earth, except the People have tails and don't slap idiot warning labels on everything. Plagued by anti-Human sentiment on New Atlantis and unwilling to return to Earth, Samantha moves to the Five Alpha, the space station closest to the wormhole, where Human-and People-stupidity lurks around every corner. Then the conflict worsens, causing concern for the security of the wormhole-and its closest neighbor. Naturally, politicians from both sides decide they can provide a diplomatic solution by holding peace talks on the station. When sabotage puts both Five Alpha and her only route back to Earth in jeopardy, everyone blames Samantha-including a manipulative politician with her own agenda-forcing her to fight to uncover who is plotting to destroy the wormhole and cut off Human/People relations for good. Can she find a way to save the wormhole-and her sanity-before it's too late?
Autorenporträt
V.R. CRAFT drew on her extensive experience at being underemployed, watching too much TV, and dealing with compulsive liars when she wrote Fail to the Chief, a book about politicians competing in the ultimate reality show. She wrote it in a month after being outsourced from the only job that had paid her like she was not a kindergarten dropout. Craft paid too much for a college diploma that loses value every day-only to be underemployed in multiple retail jobs-and that was just one of the many issues she wanted to address in this book. So she dedicated herself to writing a comedy about the world's biggest circus, er, caucus, otherwise known as the presidential election. V.R.'s skill set includes sarcasm, satire, and snark. If those things were valued by employers, she'd be rich, but they're not so please buy her book. For the past several years, she has written for the local Gridiron Show, which roasts local and national celebrities and events, and maintains a blog called Sharable Sarcasm. She has been published on The Satirist, and has been writing for Humor Outcasts since September of 2016. Other books include Stupid Humans, Trust Pill, and Stupider Humans.
