Experience: (Illustrated Copy)
It is never too late for true love - even if takes a few centuries!
Moana was still a baby when the ITGang television show decided to use him in a series commemorating the first children born into an intergalactic world after the shock of interstellar contact, throwing him into a whirlwind of yearly television appearances meant to promote intergalactic brotherhood and friendship, with nine readymade pals to call his own. But, being a Maggrumph, Moana doesn't make friends easily and feels the odd one out and the viewers don't really take to him either. While the other children of all the other species are doing really well with their lives Moana feels stuck: he has no family, no career, no exciting prospects - just a life of drudgery on the restrictive world of Maggrumphus. Moana doesn't think he's anything special and maybe he isn't, but that doesn't mean his life is empty. He's right at the heart of all four flashpoints in the universe's connected intergalactic history: by an accident of birth forever linked with the time Enwin and Lizzie revealed to the universe the presence of life on other planets, the riots led by the Intergalactic Peace orchestra on Mras that led to the death of Auberon, the Agrosian wars fought by President Eleron and the discovery of the poisonous red weed created by unscrupulous companies by the children of Orpheneous. And he's far from the grump everyone thinks he is: he's a poet, a romantic, in something there's not a lot of call for in a world of grumpy Maggrumphs. But things change when he meets a Clandu-hybrid. Will they change quick enough to make up for all those years of solitude though? Will Moana's other dreams ever come true? Will he get the life he craves and find the fulfilment he always dreamed of, with the love of his life and their nine very different adopted children and pet argibraffe on a whole new planet, or will life just get in the way?
More than just another novel, 'Experience' is yet another mad house, a love song to ordinary life and the hope that one day we can all manifest what we're looking for.Now available in a special illustrated re-issue with illustrations by artist 'Under A Dreamer's Moon' that bring the twelve colourful alien species of the 'Kindred Spirits' universe to life.
