'BLONDE BOMBSHELL is a clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book. Tom Holt may be the most imaginative satirist to land on our shores since Douglas Adams' - Christopher Moore
Book Description
The year is 2017. Lucy Pavlov is the CEO of PavSoft Industries, home of a revolutionary operating system that every computer in the world runs on. Her personal wealth is immeasurable, her intelligence is unfathomable, and she's been voted World's Most Beautiful Woman for three years running. To put it simply - she has it all.
But not everything is quite right in Lucy's life. For starters, she has no memories prior to 2015. She also keeps having run-ins with a unicorn. And to make matters even worse, a bomb is hurtling through interstellar space, headed straight for Lucy - and the planet known as Earth.

Blonde Review,
This review is from: Blonde Bombshell (Paperback)
Tom Holt has the weirdest ideas and this is no exception. I really enjoyed reading this book and loved the ending. This book has many twists and turns and keeps you entertained thoughout. It is also great for those dog lovers out there, especially if you wonder what your dog is thinking.

Great humorous fantasy,
By S. Baskin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blonde Bombshell (Paperback)
What can you say about an author like Tom Holt?His books are creative, odd, hilarious, and great reads, and Blonde Bombshell is no exception. Blonde Bombshell takes place in the near future and revolves around computer genius Lucy Pavlov and intergalactic bomb, Mark Two (who takes a body and calls himself Mark Twain), and their efforts to stop the Ostar (an intergalactic race driven mad by the radio music signals humans sent through space) from blowing up Earth. While at some points Blonde Bombshell is a little hard to follow, its off the wall humor more than makes up for it. Blonde Bombshell jokes about everything from corporate stooges, to the misuse of common expressions, to the idiocy of popular culture, hitting the mark on most of these jokes. But besides the humor, Holt demonstrates his ability as a talented writer in this novel, placing himself in the company of the irreverent Douglas Adams. All in all readers should read Blonde Bombshell for the humor, and those that give this rip-roarious novel a chance will not be disappointed. An excellent read for fans of A. Lee Martinez, Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett, and Douglas Adams, as this humorous fantasy novel provides exactly what it promises, a great summer read.

A Barking Good Time,
By kairosguy "Mr. O" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blonde Bombshell (Paperback)
Tom Holt is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. He has the gift of envisioning an alternate world in great detail, and using its differences to illuminate our own. At the same time, he never falls into the sci-fi author trap of explaining how his Master Thesis(tm) actually really *would* work and finally show all those people who picked on him in grammar school what a smart guy he really is. No, Holt just delivers up hilarious punchline after hilarious punchline, while considering what it means to be human (by looking at us through the eyes of super-evolved canines). Douglas Adams and PG Wodehouse would be proud of the absurdities Holt has cooked up, and the excellent use to which he has put them.

This review is from: Blonde Bombshell (Paperback)
This is a very cleverly written and funny book and not just for science fiction lovers. Being a dog lover, I found the ending to be superb. It is a very quick read, I have been recommending it to anyone who will listen.
