A dude with a fetish for Soviet tractors lives a solitary
but extremely contented life beyond the reach of time. He also has, of course,
a partially feathered pet Allosaurus called Miffly. In order to retain dominion
over his little corner of Eden he has to do certain things… I need to stop here
because if I told you what that was, I might will be giving away the main plot
of this extremely funny book.
Sometimes when I felt I need to cheer up due to living
through these times of plague I have selected a few books from the NetGalley
humour section. This book wasn’t under humour, but in the sci-fi and fantasy
section, and because I had read and enjoyed a previous book by Adrian
Tchaikovsky (Bear Head, see https://clarianabhc.blogspot.com/2020/12/great-bear-bear-head-by-adrian.html), I downloaded it. Apart from being sci-fi it is also one
of the funniest books I have read: “… And if hunting someone down with a
dinosaur isn't old-fashioned, I don’t know what is.”
If you love the murderbot stories or Terry Pratchett, you will love
this.
