About book Preincarnate (2010)

This won't be to everyone's taste. The story is a minimalist, confection about time travel, Oliver Cromwell, Jack the Ripper, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Masons, Tom Cruise, the Scientologists, the Rosicrucians, the CIA, Aliens and an intergalatic future circa 3050. If you like Shaun Micallef's absurdist humour, you'll find this amusing, with it's outlandish loops of logic, sarcasm, black humour, satire and clever wit. I certainly enjoyed it. This is a crazy story. If you love somewhat paradoxical time travel and Shaun Micallef's humour, this is the book for you. I only became certain of what was going on when I reached page 132. And even that was short-lived.Several times, when a new link between Micallef's nutters adventure and real-world history became clear, I found myself thinking, 'Oh, this could be so cool.' Several tangents later, I wasn't so sure!Give the book a go. You might love it. If not, it's only 222 pages and has several cameos by badgers.
