Herbert - Aid Worker from Outer Space

Herbert’s mission: to disable all weapons on Earth so that his alien companions can safely indulge their passion for skiing, surfing, and sailing. His cover: a human development aid worker.

A crash landing in Lake Michigan, trouble with the government, secret services, and the mafia, as well as a growing attraction to a very attractive female IT manager, draw him into a whirlwind of events.

But the charismatic and somewhat clumsy thirty-something manages to escape and start a new life as a programmer—a task he finds easy thanks to his extraordinary talent for electronics. Herbert appears to be human, but he actually comes from a distant planet called Goni.

A technical genius, he uses his skills to help steal an old spaceship from Area 51. But things rarely go according to plan—quite the opposite. As more and more weapons are rendered useless, entire countries and governments begin to fall apart, giving rise to a new world order.

A humorous science-fiction satire about first contact, world politics, power struggles, and the question of what happens when an alien tries to save humanity. An absurd and entertaining sci-fi comedy.

Herbert - Aliens and parallel Worlds

Peace on Earth? They gave it a quick try—and it ended right away. In the second volume of the Herbert series, almost all weapons refuse to fire, while alien Gonim show up as quirky sports tourists.

But not everyone is in “cuddle mode.” Hardliners, ex-military personnel, washed-up agents, and highly organized crooks sense their chance: Peace? No thanks. They hunt down the Gonim, kidnap them, attack them—and if necessary, launch missiles. Their goal: to reclaim their lost power. Collateral damage? Who cares.

The Gonim themselves make a massive blunder when they send a dictator to their own “hell”—it’s just too bad that innocent people are stuck there too. Oops. So they have to backtrack, rescue, and make amends—if only it were that simple.

While they’re trying to correct their mistake, an attack rocks Argentina. At the same time, the Gonim head off to a suspiciously perfect alternate Earth called “Heaven.” Sounds idyllic. Herbert sets out to find a former secret agent and gets unexpected help from a safe full of money that falls out of a spaceship.

Weird, fast-paced, a little wicked, and definitely not predictable: *Herbert—Aliens and Parallel Worlds* is German science fiction—or funny sci-fi—for everyone who loves wild encounters with aliens.
