NOSTRADAMUS ATE MY HAMSTER

In the British provinces, an old has-been pornographer (a Nazi scientist in disguise) begins to make a movie that will enslave the world while a cockney Hitler is discovered in the local pub spouting Nazi rhyming slang--or so our hero seems to think, though he may have had his memory altered before, or maybe after, he traveled in time to save the world. . . So goes this merry, silly, sci-fi action/comedy, jauntily read by the author in a thick London accent. Robert Rankin may lack comic timing, but otherwise he admirably expresses the good-natured chaos he has penned. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
