 The Toyminator - Robert Rankin
 The Toyminator - Robert Rankin ... formerly known as Toy Town. And things are not going well for the city’s inhabitants. There have been outbreaks of STC—Spontaneous Toy Combustion—and strange signs and portents in the Heavens. Preachers of Toy City’s many religions are predicting that the End Times are nigh and that a Toy City Apocalypse will soon come to pass. But can it be true? Or is there a simple explanation—alien invasion, for instance? With the body count rising and the forces of law and order baffled, it’s time for a hero to step forward and save the day. Well, two heroes actually. Eddie Bear, Toy City Private Eye, and his loyal sidekick, Jack. And they are about to face their biggest challenge yet: to save not only toykind, but mankind as well.

When you think of comedy sci-fi/fantasy authors your first thoughts probably go to the hugely popular Terry Pratchett and you would be right to do so because he is an exceptional author. However, for those in the know, there is another great comedy author in the genre, Robert Rankin. Robert Rankin has been writing book for a long time and over the years he has set many of his books in and around Brentford. Unfortunately, this led to the books taking on a similar feel to one another and made reading them more samey and less enjoyable as the series progressed. It was with great interest then, that I saw he was to write another series of book set in ‘Toy City’ ... Read the complete review
