ALIEN ART AND HUMAN
ASPIRATIONS COMBINE IN
THE
THURB REVOLUTION


The little-known, backwater planet Pewamo seemed an unlikely site for bomb-throwers, pornographers and maniacs - yet ask Admiral Beagle, ever-watchful for the moral safety of his world, and he would tell you that such unsavory individuals were collecting in droves on Pewamo.

Normally Pewamo was the habitat of slumberous vacationers and odd pink clouds that floated idly overhead and didn't bother anybody - but then Anthony Villiers arrived, bringing his obdurately alien companion Torve the Trog, and Pewamo would never be the same again.

Strange sounds were heard regularly in the night.  Villiers spoke in riddles when questioned by Admiral Beagle.  Torve the Trog rode his speedy red tricycle on obscure missions.  And somehow an army gathered around them.

But not even Villiers knew that one of the men he'd attracted was an assassin, sent to kill him....

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
