At last an uproarious scifi comedy that will have you laughing until your sides ache.
You’ve never had a hangover like this before! 200 years in the future, Edward Temple, a “uniquely ordinary person” wakes up a human pawn in a super computer’s cosmic plan to reveal a universal truth to the world that will change the very nature of our existence. Join the adventure in a world where self-aware super-computers are as argumentative, egotistical, demanding, and emotionally needy as the humans they serve.
Edward and his love interest Amanda are caught up in a zany cat and mouse chase from Earth to the far side of the Moon. Not knowing who they're running from, or even why they are being chased, Edward and Amanda must navigate befuddled governments, psychotic software, greedy corporations, overly attentive robots, and romance.
The science and technology that characterizes the environment in the book is an extension of the today's most advanced research and development efforts. and the quest to discover God challenges society's philosophical and religious underpinnings, placing the characters in outlandish, comedic situations. So buckle up, put your seat backs and tray tables in their upright position. You've never experienced a world quite like this!
Author Interview:
When did you begin writing? I began writing in the mid 1990's. I wrote on national security and foreign policy issues with a focus on China. In fact, that writing earned me the distinction of being labeled an "enemy of the people" by the Chinese government. My creative writing began three years ago.
What genres do you write? I still write non fiction on global security and futures issues. I love writing science fiction comedy.
What's your latest book about? My book Edward of Planet Earth is an outlandish science fiction comedy that takes place 200 years in the future, Edward Temple, a “uniquely ordinary person” wakes up a human pawn in a super computer’s cosmic plan to reveal a universal truth to the world that will change the very nature of our existence. The book is a thought-provoking satire about life in humanity's high tech future and the impact on social, political, and religious institutions.
I'm particularly lucky that this book got great reviews from Buzz Aldrin, Bill Nye "The Science Guy", Bill Prady co-creator of The Big Bang Theory TV show, and many others.
Which authors inspire you? I would say Ray Bradbury and Douglas Adams
What's your favorite book? Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Why did you choose independent publishing? I've published with established publishers. They provide very little that I can not provide myself and they take a lot for it. They also put a lot of responsibility on the author for advertising their own work. Simply put, I find I can do just about all the work myself and earn a lot more. Thanks to indie publishing I have a book on Chinese Intelligence Operations that is 20 years old and still sells three to four copies a day.
What one piece of advice would you offer other indie authors? Have people review your work before publishing. Prepare and implement your marketing campaign before you publish. Be prepared to work A LOT in marketing your work afterwards. I have some Indie marketing lists and ideas on my blog neftimiades.wordpress.com
