Why read it?

1 author picked John Nuclear at the Perihelion Palace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book begins with a situation that seems familiar (retired military type persuaded to check out a strange situation), but unfolds in a unique way that's totally entertaining. From the characters' names to the multiple chases, confrontations, and crises, it made me gasp and laugh (sometimes concurrently). It packs elements of spy thrillers, military science fiction, fantasy, and sly humour into a fast, fun read. Pop culture allusions add to the humour. Definitely an amusing book with enough depth to linger in the mind after reading.
