Items related to Terra's World
A charming and satirical fable of personal angst and global apocalypse Billy Martin loved science fiction. But SF has had it. Two years ago, the girl Terra came back to earth, having spent most of her life on an actual factual alien planet., Science Fiction is kind of beside the point once it's come true. And then even Terra disappeared. Billy's only friend Lydia doesn't really understand, but then she hasn't lost everything. But now a new girl has arrived at school, and she loved the dead genre of SF every bit as much as Billy. And she seems really interested in Billy, too. Things are looking up. But Terra didn't disappear. She just hid. But the time for hiding is over. Something awful is happening back home. Really awful. . .

About the Author:
Mitch Benn is a musician, a stand-up comedian, the coauthor of The History of the World Through Twitter, and the author of Terra.
Review:
there will never get another Douglas Adams but Benn, combining his stand-up comedy talent with his obvious love for the genre, might be the closet you'll ever get The Independent Benn's warm but sharp narrative voice, which made Terra such fun to read, rings through loud and clear in this sequel, as does the continuing (and welcome) influence of writers like Neil Gaiman and Douglas Adams, and a real love of the sci-fi genre in general Sci-Fi Now Terra's World ups the stakes while still keeping everything that made the first novel so special SFF World With warm and accessible writing, Mitch Benn has once again surpassed all expectations. Terra's World feels like a love letter to science fiction literature and his razor sharp wit delights. And it's damn funny. A truly excellent sequel. Upcoming 4 Me
