Asparagus Grass

Mitchell Kuiper had no real aspirations in life. He is happy as a park maintenance worker during the day and drinking with his buddies at night. After a rather rowdy going away party, Mitchell found himself in bed with Martina Vader, aka Marty Mindshadow. A second night together turned into an out-of-this-world experience for Mitchell, literally. While on Mars, Marty explained to Mitchell about the Xyk infestation of Earth and that the only way to get rid of them was to blow up the planet. Now Mitchell is in a race against time to save his world and the rest of the galaxy from the invasive parasitic aliens.

Asparagus Grass is a new speculative fiction from Australian author Adrian Deans. This dark comedy is a cosmic roller coaster with wild turns and mind-bending loops. In his own twisted way, Deans pinpoints most of the world’s woes and credits them to infected leaders. Though the humor can be sophomoric at times, the message is clear. Clean up our problems before we are destroyed. For readers looking for a far-out read with aliens, free love, conspiracy theories, and even a pile of dog poop, look no further than Asparagus Grass.
