109 pages of sci-fi joy! The Prankster is Pom Trager, a celeb back
there on his home planet. He travels through time, changing history on
Earth for a TV programme. Who knew that the Egyptians were planning to
inter their Pharoahs in square buildings until the Prankster showed
them how good a pyramid looked? When a new sponsor drops in the watch
the latest programme being made, things start to go wrong for Trager,
currently in 21st century America, and it looks as though a rescuer will
have to be sent to get him.
Money and fame is everything, especially
to Trager, desperate to get back to his own planet, and fame and fortune
- until life throws him something he had never thought of.
James Polster is a film producer as
well as a writer, and this little novella certainly reads like a film I
wouldn't mind seeing. Poking fun at all that reality and celebrity TV
stuff, Polster has nailed it.
