Publisher's Summary

Set against the backdrop of sci-fi/fantasy comedy, “The Ridiculous” invites you on a journey that challenges your reality. Beyond its humor, it possesses heart.

With messages about life, the universe, and everything, “The Ridiculous” promises a mind-bending, thought-provoking adventure filled with smiles and laughter.

Meet a being whose soul unexpectedly comes to reside in the fuzzy body suit of an alien. No longer on planet Earth and with only an AI-infused intergalactic shapeshifting companion, and master of practical jokes (self-proclaimed), things truly get ridiculous.

Moreover, the human’s birth body now hosts the extraterrestrial, who surprisingly finds contentment. He had never been to Earth.

(That, and he’s on the run.)

Amazon already recognized “The Ridiculous” as a #1 book across multiple categories: from Science Fiction & Comedy to Psychology & Self-Help Humor, all the way to… Happiness! As a satire and sci-fi comedy, “The Ridiculous” offers the perfect escape for you. It also empowers you to do ridiculous things that elevate you from your ordinary to your extraordinary. (Just ask the characters.)

“The Ridiculous” has been likened to “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” meets “Monty Python” with a sprinkle of “Discworld (plus Seinfeld, Monty Python, Spaceballs, Family Guy, Rick & Morty, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dirk Turpin, The Jets, and Star Wars, all thrown in).

Truly an amazing experience!

I decided that I would sit down, relax and immerse myself in The Ridiculous Audible. I knew this one was going to be different. My very pleasant surprise was how I was feeling listening to the book. It made me laugh out loud and feel good and it was so much fun listening to all the different voices of all the characters!
I can’t even imagine how difficult it was to get all the voices of the characters! And the story script is amazingly told.
I would highly recommend this audio book and will be listening to the story again and again! This was and is a great escape out of the ordinary!
Great job to the author’s Jeffrey Neil Kippel and Mindy Heather Blackstien! Also Alan Irving! I commend you on your great performance!
