David Langford Books Overview

The Space Eater

Ken Jackin has defeated death forty six times thanks to the extraordinary phenomenon called Anomalous Physics, but now he has his most difficult mission: stop the experiments on a runaway space colony. In order to get into the colony Ken and his lovely and seductive partner, Rossa Corman, must die and be reborn again. Together they have surpassed death in order to save humanity and must face the most dangerous peril they have ever experienced. The clock is ticking as Ken and Rossi scramble to save the very core of the universe from being destroyed. Can they do it in time?

The Leaky Establishment

The Leaky Establishment is an atomic farce whose author David Langford once worked in the gentle radioactive glow of Britain’s nuclear weapons industry, and hilariously satirizes its ghastly bureaucracy from the inside. Black comedy overtakes the unfortunate defence scientist hero Roy Tappen when a ‘harmless’ theft of office furniture lands him with his very own doomsday nuclear stockpile at home. Chain reactions of insanely comic escapades follow, with disaster piled on disaster, leading the increasingly desperate Tappen to the borders of science fiction as he seeks a way out of the mess. With an introduction by Terry Pratchett.

Guts

Guts: A Comedy of Manners by David Langford and John Grant is a raucously tasteless spoof of horror novels, first written in the late 80s and accepted by a UK publisher, which later changed its mind.

He Do The Time Police In Different Voices

A collection of Langford parodies and pastiches incorporating the whole of The Dragonhiker’s Guide to Battlefield Covenant at Dune’s Edge: Odyssey Two 1988, long out of print plus some 40,000 words of additional material.

Different Kinds of Darkness

A major fiction collection from multiple Hugo Award winner David Langford, Different Kinds of Darkness complements his parody assortment He Do the Time Police in Different Voices. Besides the acclaimed, Hugo winning title piece and its influential prequels, the 36 stories include the British SF Association Award winner ‘Cube Root’, and eight ‘Year’s Best’ and ‘Best Of’ anthology choices. SF, fantasy, horror, and unclassifiable Langford weirdness ranging from 1975 to 2003.
