Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters: Author Donald Trump's favorite science fiction novel by William Shatspeare is one of the craziest books I've heard of lately, but in every one of its analogies it makes a lot of critical sense of reality. If you are a fan of books where irony and parody are the protagonists, you will be pleasantly surprised by this one book.
This author has embarked on the difficult task of creating imaginary characters that can be part of a critical book on political commentary and social issues. Where else, reflection also comes to us when we commit ourselves to reading.
William Shatpeare has managed to keep the reader's attention constantly and almost magnetic. There are really funny and crazy situations, as well as the dialogues of their characters. The narrative is impeccable and places you so well in the scenes that you can imagine them in your head.
I recommend this book because it is definitely a very fun way to pass the time.

Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters is a science fiction novel written by William Shatspeare. It is a really interesting and humorous story addressed to a general audience in which different characters from other books collide; for instance, Harry Potter, Star Trek and Marvel Heroes. The author’s writing style makes the reading easy and quick to read. The story catches your attention when you start reading the book. You just want to know what the next chapter will bring you. Without hesitation, I am going to read all the novels of this author since this book left me more than caught up.
The story progresses naturally and smoothly and it has every element a good story should have: a solid plot, excellent settings but best of all, fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development and that’s something I look for in a good book.
I would gladly recommend you all, no matter what age to read Captain Quark. It is a fantastic work to explore.

Look, this book is bound to be both loved and hated by readers with equal passion due to the unabashedly in your face style of satire and political commentary embedded within. Luckily we live in the United States, where, for now at least, we are free to state our beliefs for or against anything we choose. My hope is that those who can't shake off a differing opinion just save yourself the irritation and move along. For the rest of us...
Sometimes you just need to laugh! With a name like Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters: Donald Trump's Favorite Sci-Fi Novel — NOT!!, just try not to. This book is rife with intelligent satire and my goodness do I appreciate intelligence, especially in comedy. The plotline is, on the surface silly and seemingly far-fetched, but such a fun and relatively harmless way to view the political atmosphere we are currently navigating. Recommended to anyone with a sense of humor.

Author William Shatspeare gives us a humorous book full of witty dialogue and biting satire. By combining all our favorite genres, from Star Trek, Marvel, Harry Potter and Middle Earth, the author cleverly provides a unique backdrop to some mind-numbing ideocracy and some impossible odds for our heroes, Captain Quarck and the Funtastic Five. The tongue in cheek humor about Uranus Blowhard who is attempting to take over the world with his MAGA chants and the five Time Cheaters that will make him the “most powerful roach tycoon in the Infiniverse”.
What a fun adventure! I loved the humor, the satire, and the not so subtle references to figures in our own world. A little heavy on the SciFi, I think the magical aspect could have been explored a little more, but maybe there is room for one more book? Make it a series? Love it or hate it, it is a good way to pass the time right now.

What a ride! Oh my God! This book is amazing. “Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters” is a sci-fi novel written by William Shatspeare. This original first novel is written for a general audience. It is a humorous look at a lot of famous characters, with an imaginative use of language to create an amusing set of characters and plot, this book is quite funny but most of all eccentric and that is something I really like.
After reading the first few pages of this story, you feel hooked by this masterpiece. It is perfect to enjoy in you spare time because it will make you laugh out loud and also relax: the perfect combination.
This book is amazing down to the last page. It's easy to read and difficult to forget. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. I would gladly recommend you all, no matter what age to read it. Don’t miss it.

Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters: Donald Trump’s Favorite Sci-Fi Novel — NOT!! is one of those rare genre-defying books that is part sci-fi, part comic bookish, part political satire, and entirely enjoyable.
While some of the characters, especially their names, are clearly intentionally out there, the characters’ actions are not far fetched from the crazy reality we are currently living in. I’m not sure if that is a condemnation of the current state of the world or a compliment to the genius of this novel so take that how you like.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read and one that I recommend to anyone interested in an enjoyable, lighthearted but cutting, read.

In these turbulent times we need books like Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters. Author William Shatspeare has given us something to think about.
What?
The "Theory of Historical Transitivity" and a superb critique of the MAGA Blowhard who is out to destroy the world as we know it.
Saving us from this disaster is the Funtastic Five.
SPOILER: This is a great book, fun to read and not far fetched.

CQ and the Time Cheaters is part comic book, part late night satire, part edgy political commentary. There are some very funny moments on this adventure in the traditions of Gene Roddenberry, Monty Python, and all our other beloved friends from UHF in the 70s. A great read.
From the Author
Captain Quark and the Time Cheaters is a cautionary tale about the perils of Orange Supremacy. Ever since the arrival of Uranus Blowhard we have all living in The Unknown Country. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. It is my hope that Captain Quark will help readers find their way home before it's too late. Live long and perspire.
