Самое надежное в мире хранилище золота находится в одном лондонском банке...
И ты, конечно, уже начинаешь понимать, о чем пойдет речь в этой книге. Правильно: о величайшем в мире ограблении банка. Может быть, ты знаешь кого-то, кому под силу совершить столь дерзкое преступление? Ну разумеется, это все та же бесстрашная троица: один тощий, высокий и почти безумный профессор, одна замечательная девочка с кларнетом и один крохотный мальчик с огненно-рыжими волосами.
Но почему из всех людей на свете именно доктору Проктору, Булле и Лисе поручено сделать это? Да потому, что совсем недавно они уже спасли мир от неминуемого конца, вступив в схватку с лунными хамелеонами. А на этот раз все обстоит гораздо хуже. Намного хуже. Настолько хуже, что тебе, скорее всего, уже никогда, никогда не захочется съесть ни кусочка сыра пармезан! Ты спросишь: а какая тут связь с финалом Кубка Англии по футболу?

Sent back in time to Victorian England in order to change the future, Helen Foster thought it would be complicated. Little did she know she'd be lucky to survive the night!Sent back in time to Victorian England to stop the invention of a deadly weapon, Helen Foster knows the job looks too easy: All she has to do is go to an auction, buy the weapon plans, destroy them, and she’ll save millions of people back in her own time.

Then she meets Edward Clifton, Duke of Somervale, the man she’s supposed to blackmail. He is one of the most powerful men in the land, so handsome and cold that debutantes have been known to faint in his presence.

In the future, people are disease-free and thin, but physically weak and increasingly lazy. Intensive exercise is viewed as the primary risk factor for accidents and injuries, and is all but outlawed by powerful health insurance corporations. This is the story of one man who leads an underground running club as its members prepare for an upcoming race they are determined to win at any cost.A local amusement park seems the perfect setting for seven-year-old Jack’s birthday party. The adults alternate between socializing with each other and chaperoning their children playing throughout the park. It seems like a fun time for everyone, but apparently not. Mandy would rather be finishing her homework than participating in her little brother’s escapades, especially when she considers his classmates in attendance that would make better company for him. It’s safe to say when Jack appears to go missing in the theme park she finds it more believable he is somewhere he shouldn’t be rather than lost or worse. She is right and wrong in the worst ways possible. Views: 838
The Slug Invasion is a 114,000 word humorous, non-serious, science fiction novel, primarily aimed for young adults. It is the second novel of a trilogy, and continues the story where the first instalment, The Slug Rebellion, left off.The Slug Invasion is the second novel of the trilogy, and is (as usual) comprised of a prologue, ten intermediate chapters, and an epilogue. Each chapter is split into several scenes, with each being told from the first-person perspective of one of the three main characters.This is the part where I say that this is the perfect starting point for new readers, and that you should totally just jump right in! That would be untrue however. Yes, you can start at book two if you really wanted to, and I suppose that you’d get most of it, but it wouldn’t be the same. If you want to read these books properly, go back and start at The Slug Rebellion!Here’s what you can look forward to reading in The Slug Invasion:- A lot more on the anatomy, culture, and lifestyles of the Slugs and Cyborgs.- A complete and utter lack of any form of love triangle.- More Phill!- A glimpse at Slugenis, and another place too.- Further descriptions of the technological and biological workings of the two races.As the first book before it, this is still a somewhat serious, somewhat humorous work, so be prepared. It is much longer than the original, and the third and final instalment will be longer still.If you like science fiction that doesn’t take itself too seriously, then you may like these books. If you like novels that go into a lot of effort to describe and explain the things and people around them, then you may like this. If you liked the first book, then you should definitely like this one; if you thought the first was ‘meh’, then I think you’ll like this one better; if you hated the first book, then why are you even reading this?Enjoy.
