Today’s choice is Scott Finlay’s “The Galactic Idiot” (https://amzn.to/2Zy7Shw). The Galactic Idiot is the best choice we can think of at the moment, an exhilarating title, so if we’re going to get through all outstanding works in all the niches of speculative fiction, we are not regretting including this one on top of our list for today. In this case, we discover a tale that is exceedingly effortless in its presentation and style. Supposing you are as versed in this sort of thing as us, you’ve got to start searching how fans react. In the words of an obviously enthused reader, “This book was very fun, and very funny. Our hapless hero is a bumbling fool who’s likable and causes Mayhem and eventually saves the earth. It has ridiculously entertaining characters like an evil sentient vacuum cleaner, and a squid like beef with multiple arms. Great stuff highly recommended!” Now you are persuaded, you ought to continue the whole way and get a copy of the book yourself. Otherwise, keep following until we discover the next Asimov or Clarke. Like you, we know it’ll happen eventually.
