Intergalactic Exterminators Inc

September 1-30, 2022 Virtual Book Tour
Finding work is easy. Staying alive is a little bit harder.
When Russ Wesley finds an unusual artifact in his grandfather’s collection of rare antiquities, the last thing he expects is for it to draw the attention of a ferocious alien from a distant planet. Equally surprising is the adventurous team of intergalactic exterminators dispatched to deal with the alien threat. They’re a little wild, and a little reckless. Worse yet, they’re so impressed with Russ’s marksmanship that they insist he join their squad . . . whether he wants to or not.
Praise for Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc:
"This book is so much fun it ought to be illegal in all known galaxies. Ash Bishop has written a wildly imagined, deeply felt, swashbuckling page turner. I loved it."
My Thoughts:
On most days, you'll find a contemporary romance novel in my hands. But occasionally, I will come across a book that brings out my inner sci-fi nerd who loves the idea of what advance technology, species/people, and worlds could look like. I mean, I did grow up being told that The Jetsons were our future here on Earth. While some things have become true, others are still a distant idea.
When this book arrived, I was longing for a read that would whisk me on an adventure from the daily stresses of life (work, sickness, etc.) and I can happily say that I wasn't disappointed. Ash Bishop gives you so much more than transcending alien novel with the humor and bit of mystery that keeps you intrigued on the intergalactic ride through the adventure.
While on the wild ride, I found myself smirking at how well the author planted jabs at humans, their willingness to do just about anything to make a dollar, and the internal struggle with what is right and wrong. At least, that is what I took away from numerous parts! I had to force myself to slow down as I am typically a fast reader. I wanted to absorb the entire aspect of every scene as it felt they were curated to draw out various aspects connected to today's society.
Absolutely a book well worth the read (it does get a bit long and drawn in the middle, but oh so worth it for the final third of the book!). It satisfied my oddity for including a bit of odd in my standard reading choices.
I received a complimentary copy for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
