The Sentient Advantage is pure engaging, entertaining, and stimulating science fiction. In the tradition of Douglas Adams? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, Pugmire injects an intelligent comedic element into a futuristic science fiction theme that will appeal to both sci-fi enthusiasts and satire lovers alike. Pugmire's deadpan delivery does not obscure the twinkle in his eye as his story unfolds. When Jaros wakes up and finds himself falling from space, he is alarmed to realize that he has no memory. Nothing. Yet it seems like he was expected. He takes up residence in Kayla's haunted house that is run by a house comp that won't take orders. Together they must figure out what's really going on, save the galaxy, and avoid being killed by large ugly aliens. Every step of their adventure is hilarious. This is the kind of book that people pass on to their friends, but want returned so they can read it again when their friends have finished.
