Bunked Up

In a Person Pack

Tired of looking for a pack to join, Sasquatch and Fidget reminisce about the joys and delights of life in a people pack.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ The Summer Blockbuster We’ve Been Waiting For, in Novel Form! Wallace is at his cinematic best with this thrill ride of a story about faulty robot domination and the rag-tag team of mercenary-style saviors whose ability to wrangle the misfiring bots is put to some serious testing.

★★★★★ The robot uprising, but in a good way In Junkers, Wallace does what he does best; he delivers a smart, funny thriller that packs as many jokes as it does punches.

★★★★ If the smartest and funniest of my drinking buddies had the premise for a ragtag team of robot hunters, this is the book that person would have wished he'd written...Benjamin Wallace is my kind of nerd.

★★★★★ Tremendous fun to read! It's like a non-stop roller coaster ride where around every bend there's something popping out at you.

★★★★★ Ben's characters are so flawed they're hilariously likeable, I was grimacing every few pages and loving it.

★★★★★ Robots and automation and coffee machines, oh my! Never has a rebellion been so amusingly thwarted. I cannot recommend this fun adventure enough!

★★★★★ Stop reading reviews and buy Junkers! If you like funny stuff then buy it. If you don't like funny stuff, go see a psychiatrist, get some anti-depressants and then buy Junkers. Or just trust me, buy Junkers and read it. You'll feel better. Yet another fun, funny and adventure-packed story by Benjamin Wallace.

★★★★★ The funniest robot uprising I have ever read.

★★★★★ Five Stars Benjamin Wallace is the funniest writer working today. He always keeps a good pace while injecting humor without sacrificing story. I have read everything he has written and recommend it all.

★★★★★ Hilarious and Exciting ... Hilariously exciting? Excitingly hilarious? Just don't miss out! Funny, exciting, funny, thought-provoking, funny ... I think I've made my point.

★★★★★ Recommended if you like laughs you can't put down. The first joy of reading Ben Wallace's books is that on quite literally almost every page, there is at least one laugh waiting to reward you and tempt you to the next page. The second is that the stories he tells, while marinated in overt and subtle absurdity, are entirely coherent and gripping in their own rights, because he figured out how to write characters you'd want to know. (Granted, often at a distance.)

★★★★★ Mechanical Mayhem!

★★★★★ Funny s*** man, here

Product: Dads vs. The World (Dads vs. Series Book 2)
Description: John, Chris and Erik are neighbors in the quaint subdivision of The Creeks of Sage Valley Phase II. The three men happily live the typical suburban family life. But, it’s not all birthday parties and bounce houses.

These men struggle every day to fulfill their roles as fathers, friends and husbands. They face challenges like grocery shopping under pressure, learning to be the Tooth Fairy and competing for Halloween bragging rights. Throw in Santa and the HOA and it all adds up to a whole lot of crap.

This handsome volume includes:

Dad vs. The Grocery Store - John would rather sit and watch the game, but his wife needs some things at the store. Can he complete the list and get back in time to see the end of the game?

Dad vs. Halloween - Every Halloween, Chris has the scariest house on the block and gives out the best candy. But, this year, someone is showing him up and he'll stop at nothing to find out who.

Dad vs. Santa - Erik has planned the perfect Christmas for his family. The plan is foolproof, bulletproof and flame retardant. Nothing can undo the hours of planning and preparation. Nothing except maybe odd-shaped packages, ill-timed fruitcakes or an errant neighborhood Santa Claus.

Dad vs. The Tooth Fairy - Erik always has a plan and he's sure he would have figured out the whole Tooth Fairy thing eventually. But, when his three-year-old son takes a frisbee to the mouth, he's forced to speed things up. Between neighborhood kids with big mouths and unhelpful dentists he's going to need to improvise. Will he bend to the pressure of inflation? Will he get caught in the act? And, what do you do with those teeth anyway?

Dad vs. The HOA (A novella) - There comes a time in every man's life when he must stand for the things he believes in. John doesn't believe in bagging his grass. So, when a new allergy-prone neighbor gets the HOA to require it, there's only one thing he can do - run for President of The Creeks of Sage Valley Phase II. John, Chris and Erik put aside most of their differences to run a campaign that they hope will see John elected as President and end the meddling of the rule-loving new kid on the block. Will they succeed? It's doubtful.
