Depressed over the loss of his family in the Great Swindon Spud Catastrophe of 2017, Harry Grubb hasn't left his sofa in years. Fuelled by beer, Poirot reruns, and a mountain of takeaways that would send a cardiologist into a cold sweat, he's living the dream. Probably. Then a holographic Colonel Sanders lookalike hijacks his television with catastrophic news: God has gone missing, the universe is unravelling, and the only person who can fix it is an overweight ginger slob from Swindon — a junk-food genius wearing an "I LIKE CHEESE" badge. Altered by nanobots, he's dragged kicking and screaming into the cosmos. Harry is then thrown in with a crew of absolute misfits: Korma, a telepathic cat who's secretly a princess; Derek, a foul-mouthed Yorkshire microwave with Michelin-star ambitions; Spanners, an angst-ridden cybernetic monkey; a football-mad alien bird; and Shaky — a singing thistle with strong opinions and a weakness for vindaloo. Together, this chaotic found family will be flung across the galaxy into more trouble than Harry's ever dreamed of — pursued by a mint-scented villain with a grudge that runs far deeper than anyone realises. Part Douglas Adams, part Terry Pratchett, part Red Dwarf, with the warm found-family heart of Gavin & Stacey — The Cosmic Casebook of Harry Grubb is the funniest, most original British sci-fi comedy in this quantum realm, or any other. If you love absurd humour, lovable oddballs, and chaos on a cosmic scale, this is right up your alley. The universe is counting on Harry's appetite. Heaven help us all.
