Something was wrong.
No one on the Sequencer had been able to tell him exactly what it might be, but he could sense it. Very unscientific, he reprimanded himself.
Because of that cover I think I expected more of a comedy book. Maybe not Pratchett-esque, but something with that general style. Quozl didn’t provide that. The basic plot concerns a race of rabbit-like aliens as they arrive at their new home. Their homeworld is over populated, so every now and then they send out colonisation space ships to find new planets. These ships have no contact with home, and there are no second chances, they must colonise where ever they arrive or perish. Those on board the Sequencer have finally arrived, the third planet from the sun in this system is their destination, Shiraz, as they have named it, is to be their new home. They never expected it to be inhabited. Because their Shiraz is our Earth.
