The Perminator

It wasn’t the fact that in 1984 Hollywood movie director James Cameron had a premonition that I would write this book and quickly altered the character’s names and the plot slightly to make his blockbusting film, it was the fact that he then sent a robot back through time to eliminate me before I was born by targeting me dear ol’ mum that annoyed me.

So, thanks to the power of Smashwords self-publishing, you can now relish in the deadly serious, original true story and follow the adventures of Sarah O’Connell, an Essex hairdresser who discovers her role in the fate of humankind when a really, really naughty robot from the future hunts her down in order to eliminate the unborn leader of a rebel force that aren’t very keen on permed hairdos.

Can Sarah and her future-boy nincompoop protector, Fleece defeat the robot, hot on giving everyone a smashing perm before it’s too late? Will they be able to change the fate of the deadly war between the humans and machines and overcome the terrible corporation Hairnet? Can we expect to read any sexy bits in this pathetic parody?

Read it before Cameron’s machines finally get to me and all hope is lost. I’ll just finish on a personal note to the director himself, “ha, you didn’t realise that my mum was that handy with a rolling-pin! See you in court Cameron!”

Reviews on Amazon:

"Clever and ingenious:
A self-confessed self-publishing (soon to be publishing guru) with a must-tell story to tell. And wow does he tell it. I like this clever, layered, witty, intriguing slice of life story with plot twists is book-form, I imagine this author has more creative genius gems in there. Nice one!"

"The Perminator Rules:
This is one of the few books that I've had trouble putting down. A parody of THE TERMINATOR, THE PERMINATOR is hilarious from beginning to end. When the Perminator goes back to the past to prevent a fad from recurring in its twenty year cycle, the opposition sends somebody to protect the future mother of the leader of the opposition. The concept of preventing this embarrassing fad from recurring is funny in itself, but the whole book will have you laughing. WARNING: Read while you're alone or others will stare at you."

"Wild Ride:
I chose to read The Perminator because I wanted something different. I got what I was looking for. The book is so absurd, it is sometimes challenging to keep up with. I laughed out loud often and found the read a delightful change form my usual stuff. Borrowing the structure from The Terminator movies was a brilliant move. At times, the flying weapons were a bit overdone. Another spoof relying more on the author's great sense of timing and humour would be a big seller. Sometimes I skipped the long descriptions. I could see a movie based on this book without The Terminator infrastructure. Darren has the power to write a pure movie script based on a structure of his own creation. I see a Pulp Fiction applying great visuals and an understated; yet, uproarious sense of humour."

About the Author

I was born in the Fling Dynasty of a small planet known as Duncan in a galaxy far, far away. My humble parents, believing the planet was on the eve of destruction, sent me off as a baby in an egg-shaped craft and I landed here on planet Earth in the spring of 1973. I was later to discover through a cavern of ice, as you do, that the planet was fine all the time and it was just a particularly nasty prank by my father’s mates down the pub.

I landed in a deep jungle and was raised by a company of wolves, learning to live as they did. Until one day when a naughty tiger with a very English accent came along and I was whisked away by a black panther and a jazz singing bear to a man-village. It wasn’t the tiger I was worried about; it was the American cartoon producer following on behind him.

It was at the village that I won a golden ticket to visit a chocolate factory where I fell into a river made of chocolate and was sucked up a pipe into a fudge room; happy days. It could have been worse; I heard some other kid turned into an exploding blueberry.

I lived at a coastal Inn for a while until an old sailor paid me a penny to look out for a legless seadog; what a cheapskate. In finding him I discovered a treasure map and was promptly whisked away by a sailor to a Caribbean island where I got into a bit of a rumble with some pirate radio DJ called Captain Tony Blackbeard. It was that or another holiday in Clacton.

At eleven I was taken away by a man with an uncanny resemblance to actor and comedian Robbie Coltrane to a school for wizards where I had to battle it out with some bald blue bloke who killed my parents, said he was a lawyer working for an author called JK Rolling or something. That wasn’t as bad as the frog flavoured semolina we had to eat for school dinner.

As I grew up and went to college I decided to give my favourite toys, a cowboy and a space ranger, away to a snotty girl from around the corner, nobody told me the cowboy was really Tom Hanks otherwise I would have given them away a lot sooner.

So, other than the time I was bitten by a rare spider and found myself with special arachnid powers which I used to defeat an evil leprechaun, I left college and it was all very uneventful.

Nowadays I have settled down to a family life and enjoy writing books, striving to be more like Bruce Bogtrotter every day. People say “where do you get your ideas from?” I tell them I have no idea, I've had such a boring, everyday life.
