It's just another day in the Transdimensional Authority, with teams of investigators doing what they do best (well, after breakdancing) – investigating. Bob Blunt is en route through a Dimensional Portal™ to Earth prime 4-7-5-0-0-7 dash iota to investigate cars exhibiting most uncarlike behaviours – ribbit! (Breaking all of the Transdimensional Authority rules…number 127, he is without his partner, 'Breakfront' Balboa, who is on leave after an unfortunate incident with the Vulvar Ambassador to Earth Prime and a staple gun). Beau Beaumont and Biff Buckley have already arrived on Earth Prime 5-9-2-7-7-1 dash theta to find themselves surrounded by machines whose only intention is to serve human masters – even if it kills them! Recently recruited TA investigator Noomi Rapier, with her partner 'Crash' Chumley, is on Earth Prime 6-4-7-5-0-6 dash theta where all matter at all levels of organisation (from sub-atomic particles to the universe itself) has become conscious. Meanwhile Barack Bowens and Blabber Begbie, taking the Dimensional DeLorean™ to Earth prime 4-6-3-0-2-9 dash omicron, face multiple apocalypses (already in progress), and Bertrand Blailock and Bao Bai-Leung are having trouble travelling to their intended destination: the home of the digital gods. At first, they all appear to be looking for unauthorised and probably counterfeit Home Universe Generator™s, but could what's really happening be more sinister? (Yes. Yes, it could. We wouldn't want to leave you in suspense…) You Can't Kill the Multiverse* is the second book in Ira's hilarious Transdimensional Authority series. It follows the success of Welcome to the Multiverse*, and lots of people said really nice things about that (without even being paid), so we thought we'd remind you of some of them: ***** (Paul Levinson former president of SFWA, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) "It was freewheeling weirdness, with a distinctly Canadian bent." (Shirley Meier, author of The Fifth Millennium series) "I sat nervously in the dentist office waiting to be called to the chamber of doom. My knuckles were white and it was a struggle to keep from bolting. I come from a generation when seeing the dentist was akin to vacationing in Spain during the inquisition. In any case, I opened my copy of Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) to distract myself and started reading. Moments later I erupted with a bark of laughter. The other people in the waiting room glanced at me like I had two heads. I kept reading trying to contain my mirth but it was no use. Another belly laugh tore out of me. I just couldn't help it. Then a series of chuckles and another belly laugh. At that point the hygienist, with a sidelong glance, escorted me to my appointment. Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) is one of the funniest things I have ever read and it stays funny as the pages turn." (Stephen Pearl, author of Tinker's Plague and Nukekubi) "Ira Nayman is one of the funniest Canadian writers I know… This book is funny in the Douglas Adams sense of the world - crazy, funny bits you'd never think of on your own in a million years…" (Nicole Chardenet, author of Sumer Lovin') "very dry, wry, sarcastic, sardonic, tongue-in-cheek, straight-forward and convoluted." (Mia Darien, author of Cameron's Law ) "[it] is science fiction in a way, comedy in a way and a detective novel in a way. Read it and you will be a changed person." (Geoff Nelder, author of ARIA) "I really, really, really, really, really liked the book, and that is five reallys, so you know I mean it" (Eric Swett, author of Apocalypse Rising) "intelligently written in a confident and quite unique voice which engages and disarms in equal measure" (Antony Jones, SF Book Reviews) "My very first impression when I began to read Multiverse was that this was a book that appeared to be written by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams' hyper-active love child."
