Why pick one holiday destination when you can see a whole solar system in award-winning comfort?
Relax and let our newest five-star luxury liner DRV XANADU take you on an unforgettable journey through the Trinary Systems, with all-inclusive dining and genuine human hospitality and culture.
*LBPT WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASISE THAT THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM ON THE CURRENT VOYAGE.
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF A CREW MEMBER IS A GREAT LOSS TO THE COMPANY, HOWEVER THE ITINERARY WILL CONTINUE AS PLANNED.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR CANCELLATIONS BASED ON RUMOURS OF SKULDUGGERY AND MURDER.
It was supposed to be another routine cruise around the Rinaldo system, albeit onboard a ship that should have been decommissioned before some of its crew were even born. Security Chief Val Kazda and Facilities Officer Janvier Moran are regulars on the staff, expecting more complaints, whining and stupid questions interspersed with periods of intense boredom.
Until one of the crew ends up in the food processors.
Okwagala Beckert and Quincy Stanek only just joined the DRV Xanadu, but Okwagala has a secret reason for working in the tourist information office and enduring the barrage of insults and moans from the passengers. And Quincy barely gets her chair warmed up before strange messages start appearing on her computer and people want to drag her into some conspiracy.
The Xanadu is supposed to offer some positive vibes for those tired of hearing about the war with the insectoid Erlautzi, but it seems like someone on board is VERY interested in the war.
THE XANADU AFFAIR is a sci-fi mystery perfect for fans of The Wayfarers series, Red Dwarf, Avenue 5, The Orville and Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Welcome Aboard!
* Little Blue Planet Tours are the only spacefaring cruise in the Trinary Systems.
Reader reviews for The Xanadu Affair
"This is the setup for a thriller that kept me both giggling and on the edge of my seat right to the last page. Yes, both, because Taylor manages something that is rare: she combines humor and tension in a way one doesn’t take away from the other, rather supporting the other. So, while I at times genuinely feared for the protagonists, the whole bonkerishness (if this isn’t a word, it should) of an not-quite-earthlike luxury cruise with entitled, complaining, alien Karens never failed to amuse me."
"A tremendous bunch of laughter
This book is fabulous. Laughter from the start until the very end, at least for me.
Meet the crew and many passengers on the Xanadu, and the weird things that happen on an intergalactic cruise.
Aliens, humans (also aliens), bugs and ANDI will make this an unforgettable trip. If you like fun and laughter, get this book!"
