Synopsis

From the mind of Walter Koenig (Star Trek: The Original Series, Babylon 5) comes Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot - a science-fiction comedy unlike anything you've ever heard before! When an alien invasion annihilates most of humanity, it's up to a small pocket of survivors to restart civilization. There's just one problem: they're all losers. From an Irish pub to the Florida Everglades, from the outermost reaches of space to the innermost regions of the mind, join a rag-tag group of humans and aliens as they face the end of one way of life and the beginning of another. Packed with absurdity, pathos, wry observations about human nature, and a story that will keep you on your toes until the final word, Buck Alice is an emotional journey you'll want to take again and again. With a full-cast, a sweeping original music score, and thousands of sound effects, the award winning Colonial Radio Theatre On The Air proudly presents a black comedy with a heart that pumps slightly acidic blood. Grab a manhole cover and prepare yourself for a story that begins when all others end - Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot!

So I can't even begin to describe it, something something ali......more

Whoever he is, he seems to control a remarkable technology. ~Chekov, Who Mourns For Adonais?, Star Trek I've mentioned before that I try to write my own summaries, but for Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot, I think it is best stated in it's original description. From a distant world the invaders came. Th......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on April 26, 2013

'Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot' is an outrageous science fiction tale with a host of characters who are all losers, including writer Buck Alice, alien Ihmor, and a little girl called Isobel. The sense of humour in this novel was what made it a page-turner for me. One of the many lines that made me s......more
