The Ridiculous is just that… RIDICULOUS. 

In fact, it is so "ridiculous", it’s almost a category of its own! Amazon already ranked it #1 in Comedy, Happiness, Self-Help & Psychology Humour.

Those who dare read The Ridiculous are taken on an adventure so ridiculous when two unsuspecting -- yet determined -- characters find their dreamt up dreams became their reality. Yep. It happened. One day they were living their life, wanting to start fresh...and then suddenly they were (albeit in new bodies, on new planets and in new situations). 

As a self empowerment fictional novel, readers are gifted opportunities for meaningful mindset shifts and ridiculous laugh-out-loud moments.

The Ridiculous, due to its style of humour, appeals to people of all ages... especially readers who lived through the 60s, 70s and 80s. These readers get to go back in time, experience nostalgic chuckles and relive the humour from classics like The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Monty Python, The Jetsons and The Flintstones. Younger readers get inspired by the authors' imagination of pure ridiculousness.

Order your copy now and step into this side-splitting yet strangely heartwarming saga.

Excerpt:

From the distant star of Placellner he traveled. Why? Who knows... But that’s not the point. At least not right now. And actually, it wasn’t a star. It was a planet... his. For three billion galactic years and nine point two mega seconds, his ship careened across the somewhat vast universe, turning left here and right there and looping around deltic spagnoids every so often. All in all, it was smoooooth trekking - well, besides the mishap near the Algernon sector, ahem, which we won’t get into right now.

His journey would have been a lot shorter had he not stopped in at Joe’s Galactic Bar. But who could blame him? With all the advertising that Joe had been doing lately, he wouldn’t be surprised if a Cornsharr actually did stop by. You know the slogan: “No party is complete without a Cornsharr. Why not stop in and try Joe’s Galactic Bar!"

What the hayhorff is a Cornsharr?, the space traveler thought as he came within a safe distance of the place. Anyway, he decided why not and stepped in for several sreefs and a shot of his favorite drink, the Rhinokicker. This strange and bizarre sort of alcoholic substance got its name during the Age of Bartenders. It is much like one of the Olden Age soft drinks called Briozza, which was banned under section 77.56 of the Living Rights Act supplement 999.887.172.31457-Q. Unlike Briozza though, it’s claimed that 3.289 seconds after tasting the Rhinokicker, one would kick back their legs in a sort of dance and charge something, sometimes even a brick wall, scream-singing “rhino, rhino, rhino!” Apparently, the drink was smokin’ ! The Rhinokicker has no such effect on Serbinand, although he has claimed to have hallucinated packs of rhinos kicking out dance moves around his head. It was quite the delight, actually.
