An irreverent, suspenseful, profoundly original novel about a group of science fiction writers hired to gameplan an alien invasion, led by Larry Palczewski - a struggling writer who can't perceive time.

What starts for Larry as a desperately needed source of free lunches turns sinister and inconvenient when the alien snails the group is fictionalizing actually do begin invading - by taking over humanity's novels. After that, it is up to Larry, unlikeliest of protagonists, to author a new ending before humankind is eaten by the ultimate bad story - his own.

“The book is laugh-out-loud funny, heartfelt, and profound. Neurodivergence is simply an acceptable alternative worldview here. By the end of the book, you find yourself so enmeshed in Larry’s mind that you are predicting his thoughts. A tremendous accomplishment.”
