If you like “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”, “Lost in Space,” “The Bionic Woman” and “In Like Flint,” you’ll enjoy “Miami Blast,” Tacita Pruval’s first novel-length adventure, a sexy spy spoof with a cast of characters including Emperor Caligula, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Jack the Ripper, and a special guest appearance by the Spitfire pilots of the Royal Air Force and a cameo by the Marquis de Sade! The plot has something to do with an evil organization named SPECTRUSH and their plans for – what else? – world conquest. Can bionic babe Tacita aid GOTCHA and BANGLE in thwarting Operation Cobalt Falcon Deltoid? Does the answer lie in Alpha Centauri, the back alleys of Whitechapel, the dusty, deadly streets of Tombstone, Arizona, or somewhere else entirely?
Excerpt
Excerpt from Chapter Eight:
“My masterpiece!” he wailed. “You steel-skinned saboteur. You meddling mechanical monstrosity. Thanks to you the world has lost one of its greatest literary treasures!”
“I believe the term ‘literary’ is inaccurate, Dr. Snyth. ‘Literary’ refers to writing of the highest standard, both stylistic and thematic, whereas the contents of your notebook barely rise to the level of the lowest genre fiction.”
“Spare me your silly soliloquy, you lexicographical lunatic. And don’t try to evade the issue. Your actions led to the destruction of my notebook, and I shall never forgive you. Never!”
“If you had recorded your alleged literature on a tablette and backed up the file to our ship’s cloud server, rather than relying on your antiquated paper-and-pen technology, your data loss could have been prevented.”
“You clanking cretin, how dare you question the methods of an artiste!”
The robot’s bubble head popped up to its highest extension. “Alert! Alert! Hatch of spaceship now opening. Several occupants disembarking. Initial telemetry scan reveals no hostile proclivities, but caution is advised until further readings are completed.”
“Never mind your wearisome warnings, just tell me what planet they’re from.”
“Ship’s transponder identifies it as the Sarah Briggs, a commercial starliner owned and operated by Southwest Spaceways and homeported on ... Earth.”
Dr. Snyth’s eyes lit up. “Did you say ... Earth?”
“Affirmative.”
“Well don’t just stand there, you electronic idiot, drive us over there!”
