Publisher's Summary
The complete K'Barthan series box set: All four novels in one huge audiobook
All The Pan of Hamgee wants is a quiet life.
So why did he have to fall in love with a woman living a different version of reality, upset a murderous tyrant, and then run out of places to hide?
Now all he has to do is face his inner demons, rescue everything he holds dear, and save the world, or die trying.
Oh yes, and he's an abject coward.
Great. No pressure then.
Contains a little light swearing.
Suggested cinema rating: PG
A word with the author
Q - What made you write the K'Barthan series? Why is it special?
A - You know the saying: that if the book you want doesn't exist you have to write it? That. I love funny British authors, comedic sci fi, epic fantasy, adventure, action, humour - or humor. Misfit characters are great, the weirder the better and an evil baddie, of course. This stuff is a mash up of everything I love: James Bond-style flying cars, car chases, static powered laser guns, portals that move you from one place to another and a hero we can all cheer for. K'Barth is kind of first contact, only not. There are many quirky characters, from 6ft Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry Blurpons with fluffy ears, big button eyes and penchant for extreme violence. It's earth but hey, reality is a bit boring so I pimped it and set it in a parallel reality. Even so, the eternal questions the characters in K'Barth face tend to mirror ours.
Q - What are the other books in K'Barthan Series?
There is a 30 minute short prequel, Unlucky Dip, and a series of shorts "K'Barthan Shorts", "Hamgeean Misfit".

I want to like it. but it's written so poorly.
Good ideas, poorly written. People acting against their best interest to move the story along constantly. main characters turning in to idiots all of the sudden just to make things happen. Most women are written to be total idiots and nags. making them unlikable when we are supposed to like them.
very poor writing. example: the 2 main characters have been running from the head evil guy for days. every few minutes the bad guy shows up out of nowhere and chases them. then literally minutes after they get away they allow one of them to be lured away under shakey pretense. while they are actively being hunted. characters acting against their best interest often and with all the information they need to not. characters often all of the sudden acting like complete different people.
I want to like this story. it's just written so poorly.

Addictive
It took me 15 minutes to get into this series. After that, I was hooked. This series could easily be made into a mini series or set of movies.
Highly recommended..
