The Planet Earth has been invaded by a group of Alcoholic Aliens on the run from the intergalactic police in a stolen spaceship that pumps out toxic waste When a group of thieving alcoholic aliens come bumping and burping across the universe, they create a mass of toxic waste. After discovering a leak, they realize they need to dispose of it quickly before it kills them. On top of that, and probably a bigger problem, the gung-ho, trigger-happy captain is not amused that their ship is becoming dry after 100 years of being drunk. Young Harry the engineer, (a nice guy who is newly appointed after the captain shot his boss), is left to devise a plan to put everything right. His idea is to hide on the Moon and send shuttles down to Earth to drop off their toxic waste and re-stock up on booze. What could possibly go wrong? A retired policeman, a landlord and an unemployed computer engineer are about to have their lives turned upside-down and inside-out. They'll need excessive good luck, a strong stomach and a sense of humour for everything that's coming their way. What readers are saying about Toxic Beer It has been a while since I have read such a funny book. Toxic Beer by Simon Bullock is a book I enjoyed from the word go. This story is about aliens who had accidentally happened upon our planet. They had to make this stop to fix the ship and get rid of all the toxic waste before they could finally set course and go home. The engine seemed to produce more toxic waste than the pump could handle. Harry was designated the task of being the chief engineer, and his work was to find a way to fix the ship. Harry had to delegate some tasks to his fellow aliens. The weird part is that they had found a way to sell the toxic Waste as Beer to humans. If you are a fan of drama and comedy, this is your go-to book. This book is easy and fun to read. Most sci-fi stories are too complicated to follow, but this one is so engaging and easy to enjoy. Simon Bullock has done an excellent job writing this book, and his sense of humour is outstanding. The characters I enjoyed reading the most were Chase and Dave. These characters were entertaining, and they always managed to screw up all the plans. I like alien stories and movies, and that is why I chose to read this book. I am not disappointed. What I liked most about this book is how the story flows effortlessly chapter after chapter. The sense of humour will make you enjoy this book. I found the storyline exceptional. The aliens could drink anything that smelled of alcohol, and they travelled through every different galaxy and planet for booze. This story makes you question the existence of aliens since they could camouflage and fit in. It was impossible to differentiate them from humans. There is nothing I disliked about this book. The editing was professional, the errors were just a few, and they could not hinder the enjoyment of this book. I like how the author did not complicate the story by explaining a lot about space or the spaceships. For people who want to enjoy a good alien story without technical explanations, this is your go-to book. I would highly recommend this book to young adults and adults who are interested in sci-fi stories. Toxic Beer is full of humour, drama, and action. I award this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars because the flow of the story was fantastic and easy to understand.
