The Administrative Handbook for Reality

For billions of years, reality has operated under a simple assumption:


Somebody knows what they are doing.


Unfortunately, that assumption is about to encounter Alan Powndsland.


When a routine roadside mishap reconnects Alan with his old friend Sid, a tow-truck driver with a talent for fixing almost anything, events rapidly spiral beyond the limits of common sense. Portals appear where vending machines should be. Interstellar bureaucrats start issuing instructions. Ancient instruments begin rewriting reality. And somewhere deep within the machinery of existence, a long-forgotten contingency plan is unexpectedly activated.


As Alan and Sid are swept into a cosmos governed by forms, regulations, committees and consequences, they discover that the universe is far stranger than anyone imagined. Missing moons, displaced dinosaurs, impossible paperwork and administrative departments responsible for maintaining causality are merely the beginning.


Because some mistakes can be corrected.


Some can be documented.


Some can even be filed.


But once contingency planning has been enacted, nobody is entirely certain what happens next.


The Administrative Handbook for Reality series combines:

Absurdist British humour

Science fiction adventure

Bureaucratic satire

Unexpected philosophy

Friendship, loyalty and consequence

A healthy disregard for conventional reality

Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent comic science fiction, imaginative world-building and stories that ask very serious questions in the least sensible way possible.
