“Wetherell writes like a modern Douglas Adams with a darker, more fantastical bent. The Doomsayer Journeys is stiff upper lip, prim and proper madness – like a nice cup of tea spiked with malicious nanobots and mescaline.” – Robert Brockway, RX: A Tale of Electronegativity
The planet Bersch is in big trouble. Not only is it ruled by a psychotic emperor, but it's also about to be destroyed by somebody's nuclear garbage. Now it's up to Bip Plunkerton- failed psyentist and reluctant adventurer- to leave his isolated community and warn civilisation of its impending doom. Unfortunately, in a world populated with angry krackens, hungry yetis and unhelpful seagulls, saving the day is nowhere near as easy as you'd first imagine...
The Last Volunteer is the first of three books in the Doomsayer Journeys series.
