Description
Jack Finnegan only has to worry about dealing with school bullies, suffering through detention with his homeroom teacher, and getting noticed by the girl of his dreams... at least until an army of evil aliens invade Earth. Suddenly, this teenage slacker finds himself at the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict - where the lives of everyone on the planet are in jeopardy, soldiers use Quantum Physics to become superheroes, and the enemy uses some mysterious form of magic to make themselves practically unstoppable.
The secret to ending the conflict and saving the universe may lie in a powerful ancient spaceship, which it seems can only be flown by Earthmen. Now, Jack and a rag-tag group of allies must overcome impossible odds, defeat an unkillable enemy, rescue the princess of the galaxy, and save the universe from a threat more terrifying than any it has ever faced.
Can this underachiever rise to the occasion and become the hero Earth needs? The fate of all life in the galaxy may rest in his hands.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"I. Loved. This. Book.
I loved this book like I love chocolate. The more time that passes
from the last page flipped, the more my love for it grows. There are
Five Star-reviewed books that certainly deserve their five stars and
then there are Five Star-reviewed books that should have an addendum
award that warn you of the sadness that will be felt when the book ends
and your friends get stuck in the pages, their adventures (with you the
reader) temporarily on hold until the next book."
-Jess Orso, Sci-Fi Mafia (http://scifimafia.com/2013/11/book-review-earthman-jack-vs-the-ghost-planet/)
"Awesome
space adventure with zombies, evil aliens & a killer tornado...
Earthman Jack vs the Ghost Planet by @MatthewKadish has it all!"
- Ivie Isler, Mind Ventures (http://mindventures.blogspot.com/2013/11/earthman-jack-vs-ghost-planet-earthman.html)
"With its mixture of sci-fi action and coming-of-age themes, Kadish’s novel is an intriguing candidate to fill the void that was created when J.K. Rowling penned the final novel in her popular Harry Potter series."
-April Neale, Monsters & Critics, (http://www.monstersandcritics.com/books/features/article_1718751.php/Book-spotlight-Sci-Fi-Adventure-Earthman-Jack-a-must-read-selection)
"I couldn't help imagining this book as a fantastic graphic novel or 3-D
film. Co-directed by J.J Abrams, Michael Bay and Peter Jackson...(heck),
I'd see it."
-Sandra Nyamu, The Review Hutch (http://thereviewhutch.blogspot.com/2014/01/earthman-jack-vs-ghost-planet-by-matt.html)
"The main characters are deep and original.
The plot is unpredictable, and the twists will have you rebooting your
brain, before you can keep reading. The story is loveable, and somehow
believable."
-Rose W., Desert Rose Reviews (http://desertrosereviews.blogspot.com/2014/03/earthman-jack-vs-ghost-planet-review.html)
