But so much stands in her way. A brain scan confirms that she isn’t cut out for the job, and a blast from the past rears her beautiful head, sending Carrie into a crisis of self-doubt. When the evil mechanical aliens, the placktoids, return, Carrie must put together a plan that actually works. A plan to rid the galaxy of the placktoid menace, and save her life.

Wrong Side of Time

2016

When the greatest minds in the galaxy can’t solve a problem through logic and reason, they call Carrie Hatchett. Carrie and her reluctant sidekick, Dave, have succeeded in driving the evil mechanical aliens, the placktoids, to their only remaining hiding place—the past. But the danger isn’t over. The Transgalactic Council suspect the placktoids are trying to change the course of history and re-emerge as rulers of the galaxy. Even attacks from her psychotic cat can’t prepare Carrie or Dave for the challenges they face when they travel back in time to the placktoid planet: searing temperatures, a barren landscape and primitive robots with OCD. And waiting in the wings is the placktoid High Commander, whose 3D printing ability is lethal. Innocently optimistic Carrie needs to recognise what’s staring her in the face if she’s to defeat the placktoids and avoid being trapped in the past forever.

Carrie's Calamity

2017

Uh oh. Carrie Hatchett’s back in town. When Carrie returned from her most recent assignment as a Transgalactic Intercultural Community Crisis Liaison Officer, she found a weird wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey effect had taken place. The good news is, Carrie now owns the company she used to work for. The bad news is, the company’s products have come to life and are on the rampage. They’re terrorising the British population in a way oddly similar to the evil mechanical aliens everyone thought had been defeated. Rampaging robots are only the start of Carrie’s problems. She catches the most awful cold in the history of the world, and then her lovely new home is destroyed. Carrie’s forced to stay with her long-suffering sidekick, Dave, but her bestie’s pristine flat isn’t ideal for her pets or her messy habits. Worst of all, Dave makes terrible tea. Things go from bad to worse, and Carrie realises Earth’s local crisis has gone galactic. Can she really save the galaxy again ? Carrie’s Calamity is the fifth and final book in the light-hearted, fast-paced Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer series.
