The Blurb:
It’s the 25th Century and the President of Earth has become a father, again.
Meanwhile… a massive planet-sized blob reaches Earth’s outer atmosphere and demands to speak to a dolphin, threatening to end life as we know it if it can’t. But there's only one left in the whole of the universe, and it’s not on Earth where it’s supposed to be.
As Capstan and Dewbush are assigned the task of finding it, the President’s wife-bot is given a recipe for a dolphin pasta bake. She decides to order the main ingredient online, but that leaves the two space policemen facing a race against time to get to the dolphin before Sirloin Mallet, the planet’s most deadly freelance animal hunter.
This, the sixth in the brand new Space Police series, is a hilariously funny Sci Fi space comedy that's just perfect for fans of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, and the Space Team books.
Space Police: The Day The Earth Moved A Bit was published by Britcom Publishing by 28th June 2018. You can purchase it from Amazon UK and US.

My Review:
Yay! My favourite intergalactic crime fighting duo are back again! And that always brings a smile to my face.
Before they can begin their promised holiday in just a couple of days time, they first have to try to save the world. Again. They have to find the last dolphin left on the planet. Except it's not on the planet anymore.
Although this is the sixth book in the series, it works completely as a standalone. So it doesn't matter if you haven't read the others (each of which also stands alone) , although I suggest you do, because they're fabulous.
As with the other books in the series, Capstan and Dewbush end up in various ridiculous predicaments and meet an array of colourful people and creatures. It's all utterly bonkers and brilliant.
I need to mention Susan, the wife-bot of the President of the Earth because she's great. Having suddenly gone off the idea of marrying the President she then got broody for about five minutes, and ordered up some babies! Sounds like a pain free way to have a baby - I like that idea! Now that urge has passed, although the babies are on their way, she is obsessed about making meals from very rare animals. And she has quite a temper when things don't go her way - with the nanny-bot, for instance. She's a gem.
I should also mention the President 's Chief of Staff who, frankly, is a saint.
I loved this book and hope to see Capstan and Dewbush back before too long, but hopefully after they've had their holiday!
