“Best thing since Douglas Adams.”
DSSmith, Amazon.co.uk
It's the 25th Century and the President of America has taken over the world. Meanwhile... after a cleaner unplugged his cryogenic freezing machine by accident, Detective Inspector Capstan awakes to find that he's been in a state of suspended animation for over four hundred years.
As he's forced to adjust to life in the future he finds himself reinstated as a policeman, and together with the great great great great grandson of his former subordinate, Sergeant Dewbush, he's put on the case of a missing cow.
This, the first in the brand new Space Police series, is a hilariously funny Sci Fi comedy that's just perfect for fans of the humour of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, and the Space Team books.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DAVID BLAKE'S WORK
"Absurd comedy of the style Douglas Adams used to grace us with has been in short supply since he left for what has been, I must say, an unreasonably long tea time. Though many have attempted to fill in during his absence, this work comes closer than anything I've since read without sounding like it's specifically trying to fill those sweaty, beer-soaked loafers."
Clifford Hall, Amazon.com
"This has all the characteristics to make it a cult classic and I can't wait to start the follow ups."

“Funny, quirky, absurd, and silly and altogether BRILLIANT.”

"Just read it, honestly, its great. Odd. But great."

"Very funny, unpredictable, good pace. I'm now reading his second book and so far just as good and just as unpredictable. If you have a sense of humour and want to be amused and entertained this is the writer for you."
Amazon Customer, Amazon.co.uk
"What an amazing book - I loved it! It really is laugh out, and was a most hilarious read - great fun! Love Becky, and enjoyed all her exploits - poor Cat Spam! More like this one please David Blake, and very well done. One of the funniest and most entertaining reads I've been lucky enough to find in ages."
Inga Pooler, Amazon.com
"Tom Sharpe you ain't David, different you are. Keep it up."
Hugh, Amazon.co.uk
"Funny, Flirty, Frantic and Ferocious: A fast read that will almost certainly have you laughing out loud! It's witty, sarcastic, politically incorrect and sexy in a hysterically funny way!!!! You are left wondering what in the world our crazy heroine will get up to next!!!! It's just a sheer blast of fun and solid laughs!!!"

"Fantastically funny, loved every page."
Mark Anderson, Amazon.co.uk
"I was laughing out loud within the first 5 minutes. The humor is extremely reminiscent of John Cleese in his best era. Absolutely ludicrous situations in fun settings poking humor at established institutions. Terrifically funny much of the way. Occasionally lost the perspective of what this story was about because there were so many odd bits and characters, many of which were not fully developed or fleshed out, but worth the read. Bought another and expecting/hoping to laugh!"
