"The best book I've ever read. Truly life changing. Exquisite writing. Come on, what else do you want me to say? Please untie me from this chair."

• Someone our lawyers have asked us to swear we did not tie to a chair.

"I can say, with deep certainty that reading this book was the more pleasant alternative to having fire ants devour my eyeballs."

• Some literary critic who, you would think, would be more grateful to still have both eyes.

"Why can't you write more nice books, like Nicolas Sparks?"

• A woman the author used to call "mother" who will now be abandoned in a low rent nursing home run by a biker gang.

Liam Reilly was an outcast. Then he made friends with Jeanie, Mitchell, Jax, and Esmeralda and they did nothing less than save the world from a zombie apocalypse.

Nowadays they watch the Bachelorette and eat tater-tots.

That is, until Liam is trapped in an alternate reality that looks a lot like an old western, except with laser canons, roller coaster trains, and talking frogs.

Liam will have to rescue a mysterious girl in order to escape but can't do so without running afoul of some Klu Klux Klan knights, a band of internet ghouls, and a very very aggro Mesoamerican god.

He'll need the help of friends, old and new, if he wants to survive.

They will find their unwanted foray into child-rescue is connected to events as far away as Kolkata India, where Jax Spanner and arch-nemesis Troy Thurston are battling a zombie invasion that, once again, puts the whole world in peril, Bachelorette and tater-tots and all.

The Snog Team Six series is science fiction, fantasy, and humor mashed up in shameless—perfect—proportions. It's a story of scrappy misfits caught up in a fight they didn't pick but they will finish. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter, it's adored by fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus series; Hank Green's Carl Saga; TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea; Garth Nix's Lefthanded Book Sellers; and Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It's irreverent, clever; full of humor and heart. You won't be able to put it down.
