Rex Nihilo thinks he savvy and smart and no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince him otherwise. Luckily, this robot sidekick (and keeper), Sasha, is able to navigate a safe-ish path for both of them…. most of the time. This was a very, very fun book. The humor reminds me a bit of Douglas...
Robert Kroese puts a fresh spin on the LA noir detective story with this tale of quirky private investigator Erasmus Keane and his assistant, Blake Fowler. The story is told from the POV of Fowler. It takes place circa 2039 in a section of Los Angeles that has been disowned by civil authorities af...
This short story tells the surprizingly silly story of the fall of Troy and the founding of Rome. The divine plan is all planned out and it's up to angels like Mercury to bring it to pass, but that's the problem. Mercury did take a few notes during the power point presentation that outlined the thin...
This cleverly funny apocalyptic romp is filled with angels, fallen and faithful, and humans, determined and clueless. The angels, both heaven’s and Satan’s, are great at seeing the big picture but sometimes careless about details, and they are so used to following orders and doing as they are told...
This was an interesting sort of story. I knew when I accepted the book for review that it was the second in the series and was told that it could stand alone. I really felt that I was missing something by not reading book one in the series because I didn't really find out very much about Mercury or ...
I recommend this philosophically humorous absurdist story that questions all that is organized religion and pokes much fun at bureaucracy. Okay, most of my friends will like it!
A brilliantly silly novel that examines the idea of free will, man's relationship with the divine and the wisdom of redoing your linoleum floor just before the apocalypse. Some readers have compared this hilarious book to Christopher Moore but I think Kroese's writing style screams of Douglas Adams....
Mercury Falls is a novel that is full of surprises. From reading the description, I was not completely sure what I was getting into. Yet after getting a few pages in, I was hooked. The pacing was excellent. And the novel brilliantly examines the idea of free will in a deliciously humorous way. I hav...
This is a fun read -- it has all of Kroese's trademark wit and rhetorical flourishes (found on his excellent blog, Mattress Police, and the book based on the blog) -- plus there's a crazy story about bureaucratic wrangling amongst angels and demons over how the apocalypse will actually proceed. Or I...
