Portals Across the Universe Paperback – 3 May 2024

Roger Stenely's relatively mundane job of approving portal permits is unexpectedly disrupted by a murder, pulling him into a thrilling escapade across bizarre worlds with even stranger inhabitants. The book thrives on its humorously detailed descriptions of alien cultures and scenarios, which are both outlandish and eerily familiar in their bureaucratic absurdities.Each character is crafted with depth and wit, particularly Roger, who transitions from a buttoned-up official to a hero in a tattered Goregasm band T-shirt. His reluctant transformation and the dynamic with his companions, including the sharp-tongued Olivia and the ever-hungry Detective Hort, drive the narrative’s charm.

In this story, Roger Stenely is the main character, similar to the Guardians of the Galaxy. As expected, Roger encounters a villain and must take a leadership role. I enjoyed the dialogue and the different alien characters. It's a good plot with plenty of twists and humor. SciFi enthusiasts will enjoy this one.

Interstellar Permits presents a quirky, comedic journey through the cosmos with Roger Stenley, a character whose love for order meets chaotic adventure. While the premise is engaging and imaginative, the narrative didn't quite pull me in as expected.

This sci-fi romp is a hilarious ride through wild alien worlds. Roger Stenely, who usually just approves portal permits, ends up in a murder mystery with the sarcastic Detective Hort and the supportive Olivia. The story is packed with unexpected twists, bizarre creatures, and laugh-out-loud moments. It's a buddy-cop space adventure with plenty of heart and humor. A great pick for fans of Douglas Adams and anyone who loves a good space opera.

An unexpected journey through portals and murder mysteries, this book offers a delightful mix of humor, adventure, and quirky characters. The alien worlds and witty dialogue keep the story engaging and fun, while the dynamic between the characters adds depth and heart. An entertaining read for fans of sci-fi and humorous mysteries.

A fun and adventurous read that is full of twists and turns. Enjoyed the character development but it was a little thin in some places where it could have been developed a little more to explore the emotional depth of the characters. Very entertaining and comical.
