The Periwinkle Perspective - Volume Two - Those Among Us by Paul Eccentric
“A positive hoot and total delight from start to end.” — Terry Molloy, Doctor Who’s Davros
Six months ago, Gordon Periwinkle walked on the Moon. Now half of Britain thinks it never happened — and he’s going back to prove them wrong. Secretly. Without backup. Into what is almost certainly an alien base.
The conspiracy theorists have a point, as it turns out. Queen Victoria’s greatest triumph may have been the greatest hoax in imperial history. Either way, Gordon is returning to the Moon’s dark side on a mission nobody can know about, to find an alien installation that may or may not exist, and to locate his brother — who was fired into space by Professor Hamble Blaise after she discovered he’d been sleeping with Jack the Ripper.
Meanwhile: European scientists are vanishing. The Queen needs new legs. And not everyone walking the streets of Earth is quite who they appear to be.
Volume Two lands running and never once considers stopping. Paul Eccentric takes everything that worked in The Giant Step and makes it stranger, faster, and funnier — which, given where Volume One ended, is a considerable achievement.
“Like a wonderful mix of Jules Verne, Conan Doyle and the League of Gentlemen.” — Pete Rowe, Director of Photography: The Mighty Boosh
