Yes, you read right: Series 2 Episode IV. It's called 'in media res' — which is Latin for "purchase immediately".The universe’s greatest ever investigative duo uncovers a plot to destabilise the Cosmos in a run-down London convenience store. As booze-crazed alien slugs unleash unspeakable horror and terror, only a combination of MacKillop’s able brain and Broken Vacuum Cleaner’s array of cleaning attachments can hope to save the day.An anonymous online reviewer lambasted this book, saying it had "really stupid characters in an even dumber storyline". Indeed it does — and thanks for the perfect blurb.This is the first story in the BVC & MacKillop series. Genre aficionados may appreciate its blend of fantasy, sci fi and humour — not to mention a fascination with defunct household gadgetry of a sucky nature.
