An irreverent, suspenseful, profoundly original novel about a group of science fiction writers hired to gameplan an alien invasion, led by Larry Palczewski, a struggling novelist who can't perceive time. What starts for Larry as a desperately needed source of free lunches turns sinister and inconvenient when the alien snails the group is fictionalizing actually launch an invasion, and begin taking over humanity's novels. Then it is up to Larry, unlikeliest of protagonists, to author a new ending before humankind is eaten by the ultimate bad story: his own. “Read this hilarious, profound, outsider sci-fi, where neurodivergence is just one of many alternative worldviews. By the end you’re so enmeshed in Larry’s brain you’re predicting his thoughts.”
