Books with author Amy Johnson

"This new release from L.A. Johnson is hilarious. I'm really digging the resurgence in Science Fiction comedy, and Johnson hits this one out of the park." -Pieter Lars, Author of the Everyday Apocalypse Series Enter a galaxy full of snarky comebacks, inappropriate use of tentacles, and a mythical warrior girl on the edge in this fast-paced, Douglas Adams style space romp.

She has never actually destroyed any planets, but getting to choose your own title is one of the few perks you get when you work against your will for an evil Octopus Overlord. In an attempt to regain her freedom, Kirian defies her tentacled boss and secretly saves Ari, the human she is supposed to kill. Can the two of them and a band of misfits join forces to thwart the Octopus Overlord? And can a revolutionary rock song from an illegal grunge band save a planet?
