The anatomically diverse Dr. Rip T. Brash enjoys nothing more than making high-stakes wagers with anyone he meets. Especially an astrospeciologist who enjoys nothing more than winning those wagers and thus financing his research. But when Rip goes too far by betting he can pull off a pygmalion with a Greeg (probably the most savage creature you could ever meet) it sets in motion an unprecedented road-trip of strange worlds and even stranger beings. Before Rip and his cohorts can make sense of their own predicament they must first prove themselves worthy of unlocking the riddles of the universe. This book has been dropped off on the surface of your planet for the purpose of... well, for you to read it. The stories here are true. They survived the surface of Garbotron. They saw creatures like Grollers and Klaxworms. They even went to the bottommost layers of the Planet Lincra and back... all while fending off Investment Banker-Fuel poachers and trying to get through another reading of the Treaty of Manderbatt. But you haven't heard of any these things yet. "Intoxicating " "Brilliantly Written " "Devoid of Any Worth " - Things People Are Saying On The Internet Greegs & Ladders is an exciting tale of three alien characters romping around space and time. Equal parts social satire, absurd humor and fun loving adventure, Greegs promises laughs, a few interesting observations and several run-on sentences. You'll also get to find out what the hell Greegs are, how life on Earth came to be and the meaning of it all (at no extra charge). Some of you, especially the investment banking community, might be put off by what is contained here. In the end, remember it's only words in a book. No need to be angry. Can't we all just get along and go for a swim instead?
