The Reluctant Hero

When Professor Arthur Renfrew discovers a new moon around Jupiter and identifies it as a Star Station from an Alien race the Earth refuses to believe him. That is until the Aliens invade the Earth. The invasion is disrupted by a deranged robot with multiple personalities trying to protect its adopted family of ravenous rodents. D.G, an Alien of the rebel forces mistakenly 'rescues' Julian Renfrew, the Professor's no good fire-bug son, and via a matter transfer port in a London allotment shed escapes with him to Zrad. Julian is followed by the Good Christian Girl, Angela Breen, who rescues him from certain death at the hands of a mad axeman, the incompetent ex-fireman Sidney Weddell. Who are the Zradians? Why should we not be afraid of the rodents? Who is Tzu Wu and why is he so important to Richard Byrde? Will Bates and Fish ever complete a spoken sentence each? Whatever happens on Earth and on Zrad it is certain that Julian Renfrew will complain about it. Too scared to run away and too cowardly to fight, Julian is trapped in a world he doesn't understand with friends who terrify him. This is his story. Short description. The Reluctant Hero - book one of a spoof Sci-fi trilogy telling the tale of a scumbag and a Good Christian Girl who become involved in a violent interplanetary war. Spattered with stereotypes, cliches and a mad Robot the story tumbles into interstellar chaos. Will the Earth survive the Zradian invasion?
