In the quaint pub of a seemingly unremarkable South Timbriture in Yorkshire, an unusual morning silence pervades. Upon switching on the TV, the regular patrons are flabbergasted to learn that our beloved Earth has succumbed to an alien conquest, oddly without a single bullet being fired. Thus, it embarks the reader on a whimsically humorous journey through Simon Carr’s sci-fi adventure, Da’Resistance.

Carr unfurls a narrative that is unabashedly and primarily a comedy, emanating an infectious hilarity that permeates every page. The story commences with an oddly amusing predicament involving Drew and his pet snail’s supposed erectile dysfunction, which, after a vet visit, spirals into a revelation about its sexual orientation. Though the humor often skates on the edge of crudeness, those who relish a laid-back, self-deprecating wit will discover an abundance of chuckles in the text.

While the plot may appear secondary, serving chiefly as a vehicle for the cascade of jokes, it successfully anchors the reader’s interest amidst the comic tempest. The book’s essence is not hinged upon intricate plot twists or a notably ingenious premise. Still, it is derived richly from the interplay among its characters and the ensuing laugh-out-loud dialogue. A substantial portion of the book luxuriates in extended, meandering conversations, a feature that, contrary to typical narrative expectations, enhances rather than impedes the storytelling, thanks to Carr’s sharp and consistently entertaining wit.

Da’Resistance provides not just a reading experience but a jovial escapade through a world where the improbable becomes the norm, and every situation is a ripe opportunity for humor to blossom. Against the backdrop of an alien invasion, the characters decide to tackle the insurmountable: negotiate with interstellar beings, all while navigating through a sea of nuclear weapon jargon, forging an adventure that is as audaciously amusing as it is uniquely compelling.

Carr’s Da’Resistance stands out as a vibrant recommendation for those on the hunt for a hearty comedy, where beneath the umbrella of science fiction, readers are invited to relinquish the seriousness and embrace a world where every page proffers a potential for a hearty laugh.
