Summary: Great kindling! 2008-04-27
Comment: Negative stars for me!! How did this drivel get published? If you have ever read or seen ANY sci-fi comedy then DO NOT read this!! The dialog is so predictable and painful it made me absolutely nauseous. I really don't know where to begin, it is such an awful "book" (more like someone's ramblings). Uhhh, just thinking about it makes me want to hunt down someone for my $20 back!! The horrible logic sequences the author uses to put the reader into the brains of various computers are laughable simply because they are so bad! Everything in this horrible waste of paper with words printed on it is so forced, so unoriginal, so stupid... Just a stupid, stupid horrible attempt at ripping off previous books in this genre.
By the way, "New New England"? Star Wars references? Come on, what year are you in? This stuff has been done to death! Wake up! I can't wait for my next camping trip so I can burn garbage.

Summary: Spindle - the pointy end of fun 2007-04-26
Comment: I have just finished reading Spindle and have to say that I truly enjoyed the show!
It was fun read from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi and love comedy then read this book. Looking forward to reading more books by Mr Taylor.

Summary: Sci-fi comedy of the higest order . . . 2007-02-24
Comment: I was reticent to purchase a book from someone I'd never heard of simply because of their association with the Red Dwarf books here on Amazon. Finally, however, I acquiesced.
And it was well worth it.
This book has everything I loved about that first Red Dwarf novel - witty and stupid dialogue (often at the same time and spoken by the same characters), ridiculous situations that appear to have no feasible resolution, yet that . . . resolute . . . wonderfully. And very, very memorable characters.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a fun sci-fi romp through the galaxy. It's just convoluted enough to make it fun, and crazy enough to keep you ripping through the pages until the splendid end.

Summary: Spindle 2006-06-14
Comment: A light speed romp that takes the reader to the funnier parts of the galaxy. Taylor's heros are an Instellar Odd Couple of Madisonian and Ungerian proportions. If you like comedy science fiction, check out Spindle.

Summary: Can't wait for the sequel. 2006-05-16
Comment: Very funny, as on the order of the Red Dwarf series.Four guys on a spaceship just bumbling around in the galaxy trying to save Earth before they destroy the Universe it seems. Ian Taylor has written an excellent comedic space opera, hope more is forthcoming.
