NEW REVISED EDITION FOR 2024



THE YEAR IS 2060 AND -- OH NO -- THE WORLD IS ENDING... AGAIN!

Back in 1977, Elvis Presley faked his death and set off on a time-traveling mission with his best friend, Barry the Time-Traveling Brussels Sprout. Their goal? Stop the Antichrist and save the future of civilisation. Classic Elvis, right?

But things get complicated. There's a boy genius bent on world domination, a demon horde called LEGION running rampant in the internet, and the Big Flywheel -- a clockwork contraption at the Earth's core -- grinding to a halt.

Meanwhile, in 2060, Rex Mundi has his own problems. Sure, he's happily married to Jesus Christ's twin sister, Christeen, has a talking hippy dog named Fido, and lives in a lovely country house. But someone's parked a giant spaceship on his lawn, and things are spiraling fast.

Welcome to They Came and Ate Us, Armageddon II: The B-Movie, one of Robert Rankin's most iconic works. It's a wild blend of steampunk chaos, irreverent humor, and outright mayhem. Introducing fan-favorite character Hugo Rune and his Book of Ultimate Truths, this novel smashes the fourth wall -- and then some.

Strictly for adults and delightfully ahead of its time, this book isn't your granny's Christmas gift... unless she has a thing for madcap Armageddon and brass goggles.

Prepare for a wild ride into Rankin's unique brand of madness, where homage is celebrated, and the absurd is king.

First published over thirty years ago, THEY CAME AND ATE US is a classic of Far Fetched Fiction, a genre created by author Robert Rankin in hopes of having his own shelf in bookstores. Now, this second novel in the "Armageddon Trilogy" has been reimagined and repackaged for 2024 by Hooded Man Media and Far-Fetched Books.

If you enjoy the works of Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, and Terry Pratchett, then don't miss out on THEY CAME AND ATE US and the wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and grab your copy now before the price changes!

"????? Many people describe books as 'laugh out loud funny' and while they are often quite amusing, this book is the only one to have EVER made good on that promise."

"????? I still turn to it when I need a laugh and it never disappoints."
