The Landfill is a fast paced science fiction adventure through time, galaxies, and societies. A book, glazed like a lemon filled donut with the bizarre to the profound. Thick layers of chocolate excitement for your brain, and heavy meatloaf-like concepts for your heart. There’s love and great evil within this strange tale, exploring mind, body, spirit. Come along for the ride and bring your own cup of coffee! From the text- "On the way down the shute, the box was saturated with a new experimental genetic pretreatment, designed to humanely destroy the sentient nature of non-animal biology. Unfortunately, mixed with the decontamination/deodorizing chemical aerosol used in this morning's bulkhead failure, this genetic treatment yielded shocking results. Some forces within the landfill should never have been awakened yet, in the hour of their greatest need, help will come from the same area of the ship."
As a big fan of both sci-fi and Asian martial arts I really liked this book. It starts out as a Hitchiker’s Guide sort of story, with some John Carpenter’s Dark Star thrown in, and from there it just takes off. Made me want to get back home and watch Galaxy Quest again! Can’t wait for the sequel.
The writing is ok but I can’t make myself finish this one. It’s geared more for juvenile/YA. The premise of sentient space doughnuts and personified food scraps just doesn’t hold my interest.
