About this listen

A heart-warming tale of Armageddon from one of the funniest, most original voices in comic fiction today.…

The third planet out from the star was blue, with green splodges. Dirt. Oh, the bomb thought. And then its courage, determination and nobility-of-spirit subroutines cut in, overriding everything else, adrenalizing its command functions and bypassing its cyberphrenetic nodes. Here goes, said the bomb to it. Calibrate navigational pod. Engage primary thrusters. Ready auxiliary drive.

It knew, in that moment, that its own doom was near; because it was giving itself orders, and it wasn’t putting in any ‘the’s. That was what you did, apparently, when the moment came. You could also turn on a flashing red beacon and a siren, but mercifully these were optional. Oh #//+! thought the bomb, and surged on towards Dirt like an avenging angel.

Critic reviews

"A clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book. Tom Holt may be the most imaginative satirist to land on our shores since Douglas Adams." (Christopher Moore)

Superb. Mad, daft plot. Totally believable. Very, very funny. Thorough recommed it to you. Download it.

Holt as absurd but logical as ever.

This was a good enough story but not quite in the same league as The Portable Door. It kind of lacks the humour, but Ray Sawyer, as ever, is a joy to listen to.

Not as good as Wells & Co trilogy

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Lots of great side stories and commentaries on dirtlings, that fuse together nicely, to make a jolly wagging tale.

An amusing light hearted jaunt
