FBT review:

Escape From Samsara: A Series & Standalone of Sci-Fi Comedy (Prophecy Allocation Book 1), by Nicky Blue, is an indie Science Fiction book that will take you on a wild adventure of a lifetime. With hilarious dialogues, talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against the protagonist, Barry Harris, this book is perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin, Tom Holt or Christopher Moore. The story is centered around Prophecy Allocation Department’s mysterious world and its Before and After time travel. Barry must battle an ancient army, a dark sorcerer, and a raging inferno to save his father. This first book in the Prophecy Allocation series will keep you entertained with its unique storyline, dark humor, and unexpected plot twists. It's a fun, bizarre, and unique read that will make you laugh out loud. Don't miss out on the crazy journey into a dark and funny world filled with ninja battles, bowel humor, gardening, and grannies.

(OVER 300 FIVE STAR REVIEWS ACROSS AMAZON AND GOODREADS!)


Barry's been patient, but after 27 years of trimming hedges for people he hates, he's had enough. All he wants to do is to find his missing father and to discover his inner ninja. But life’s not done with throwing him curveballs. A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime.

With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer, and a raging inferno.

Perfect reading for fans of Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin, Tom Holt or Christopher Moore.
