About This Book

A totally new kind of hero. He eats junk food, drinks whiskey, has toxic bad wind, a dodgy dress sense and is the only hope for the universe.

"Glenn Scrimshaw is a gifted story teller and I look forward to reading more of his work." - Independent Book Reviews.

"Very reminiscent of Peter David's humor, WotCB kept me turning pages until there were none left." Sherrill Willis

Piestoff Alienbutt is a struggling taxi driver living a life of monotony until he picks up the wrong fare. Catapulted into a universe of adventure, he is horrified to learn he is a central player and his entire race was wiped out in an attempt to kill him.
The kebab eating and often drunk Piestoff Alienbutt has to become a hero to the people of the Ick Empire. It is foretold that only he can save them in a war that is soon to rip the universe apart.
As the Coffee Houses move to protect the drug that ensures their power and bring about the fall of the Ick, the last Alienbutt begins to stumble through events that could see him become the greatest hero ever known.
The War of the Coffee Bean sees the start of a new Sci-fi saga with the most unlikely hero ever to pull on red boots and stagger drunkenly out of a bar, trying to outrun a destiny that he shouldn't have.
