That means calling on the help of her straight-talking American alter ego – the appropriately named Pellie Cann. And to add to the chaos, Howie and Britt are supposed to be getting married tomorrow...

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY
"Fabulous book for all the people who enjoy thrilling stories and loads of comedy."
"Highly entertaining and fast paced read for futuristic mystery lovers...charged with a ribald dry sense of humor. Can't wait for the next installment in this series."
"You know how sometimes you love a book so much that you can't stop reading, then when you finish, you are mad at yourself for reading it too fast? That's how Paul Mathews' books are. The characters from his first book return and quickly find themselves in non-stop madness. I was trying so hard not to break out in giggles, the gentleman next to me on a plane asked if I was OK. That's the sign of a great book."
"An entertaining and engaging story that I loved reading...full of likeable characters, funny quirks and I can't wait for the final installment. The plot moves quickly and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked until the end."
