Earthman Jack vs The Ghost Planet Earthman Jack Space Saga Book 1 eBook Matthew Kadish

Okay, first off, this is probably best classified as young adult. By that I mean good for middle school (Jr. High) and up...(to middle aged grumpy dudes like me and geriatric oldsters beyond me in both years and wisdom). It's plot is not incredibly unique, and I've already thought of many movies and TV shows that I've seen reading this book. If you want to disect it, you could break it apart to characters, plot, execution (which is this books strength), humor (another strength), etc. and likely not be impressed with the parts in your hands. Nothing ever looks the same when you take it apart.

Thank God we don't have to do that!

My synopsis, description etc is this:

"Dude, this is SO COOL! and FREAKIN' AWSOME!"

For those of you who don't speak geriatric retired Navy dude wanna-be-young-again that is a positive statement about the impact that this story had on me. I know it's kind of technical and tricky lanugage for some of us, but, I can't help myself. I read a good sci-fi and it turns loose my inner Nerd, which is remarkably similar to my outer Nerd. .

The first thing you'll realize when reading this is that, this is just fun to read. The characters are funny, Jack is easy to identify with and maybe more interesting at first than the others ,... well Anna's interesting too ("Dude she's freaki' HOT!") but by the 15% mark the rest of the main supporting characters devloped to become very intesting in their own. Some parts are subtley complex while others, practically transparent. There were times when I knew what was going to happen and I couldn't wait to read more!

Like I said, FUN! Sophistication and complexity do nott beat fun, unless, of course, it is also fun. This book was fun to read. (I can't say that enough. Well maybe I can, but....I'm going to push the envelope there.)

The second thing, some of you will notice...those of you as accomplished in reading the sublties of the "Force" as I...(heh, ...heh.. (Sigh)... Man, somebody just called and told me my Geek/Nerd Club card has expired!...do those things expire?) where was I?... oh yea, reading the the subtleties of the force. (Just imagine an Alex Guiness voice here.)

What makes books like this special for me, is when I find those nuggets of information about living life and overcoming obstacles. What really sells that to me, is when I start reading and I start thinking...you know... give that guy a better haircut, take him out of the trailer and stick him a beat up old house crank the video game back to Atari 1600 and ...yeah... "He could have been me in High School."

Of course that's rediculous (heh...heh..heh... psst, your supposed to nod your head and mumble, "oh, yeah, right not you, Hugh, never." When I pause ater statements like that.)

As rediculous as it is, I felt that way. Was anyone else 5' 4" inches tall and a whopping 120 lbs soaking wet with a rock in their pocket as a junior in High School? My only choice was going geek, or staying home. And once you go geek you never... .(okay, working on that one..."make a squeak?"..eew... moving on, please stay with the tour bus... "nothing to see here." especially not that lst attempt at punnery)

I mean how far "outside" of the world of the beatiful people did I believe myself to be. My circle of very loyal friends who also existed in the dork zone with me half wanting to be in the other camp, half making up reasons to think we were the lucky ones instead where football players the cool people and cheerleaders hung out . And, what I believe to be true of anyone in my shoes, "boy, I could dream of things (wonderful things)", and wouldn't you know it?

This was the kind of "what if" fantasy day dream that kept me entertained when I might otherwise be down on myself and worried about being a sum total with less potential and life than those around me. I was quiet, dyslexic and odd. I so would have wanted to be Jack it aint funny. In books, and stories I could fly, fight monsters and, every now and then, rescue a beautiful (and hopefully greatful) princess. As an aging grumpy old man, it's so nice to get a chance to go back there. Not to High School, who'd want that, but to those great stories of my youth.

There is also a good message about loss and overcoming the grief of it. And a fantastic statement by Mr. Shepherd about taking responsibility for your life that, I now know, as a man half of a century old, is absolutly true, just as I know the secret to overcoming loss of a person close to you is by making new friends and having new experiences to remember. I also know how much I wouldn't have wanted to hear that crap when I was 16.

I started reading Earthman Jack, and felt transported, in a good way, into the boy I was back then. This time without all of the fears and panic that I lived with through most of my time in High School. It's fun, exciting, action packed and... in the back of my mind that tiny voice whispers to me as I read...

"They will probably come back for me...." and the greatest, most beautiful part of reading begins. The next thing I know, I'm running with Jack and Anna and therre are gobs of wicked, gnarly, ugly aliens shooting some of red shi... er stuff at us and some bastard...um... I mean....a very unsportsmanlike fellow wants to steal my smokin' hot new girlfriend.

Just don't tell my wife about Anna, that was high school, you know? Somethings are better left unsaid, if you know what I mean.

Sure, I know it's just a story. But it's just a really fun, exciting story of the kind that feels great emerse myself in the way I was once able to do in my youth to save me from the reality of being me. I'm not advocating escapism only the idea that when the world gets heavy, it's good to have a place to go to rest and recouperate. If that's an exciting story, then, what better place is there to be?

Summary - 5 stars. It's just a fun read, a family story, appropriate for anyone from Jr. High (Middle School) to "heading for the Nursing Home" and anyone inbetween.

I'm looking foreward to the next one.

I love a fun story!

Earthman Jack vs The Ghost Planet Earthman Jack Space Saga Book 1 eBook Matthew Kadish Reviews

Caution Extremely addictive. Fosters male anti-social escapist behavior! If you like Star Trek, StarWars, Harry Potter and/or Sci Fi/Fantasy, you’ll find the Earthman Jack saga hard to put down. A fast, action-packed, intricate, masterfully crafted plot that keeps surprising you with unexpected twists and turns, galactic stakes, nailbiting suspense, and the occasional interspersed humor with oh so subtle references to your other favorite pieces of fiction. Behold another master story teller has been revealed! An NO it’s NOT just for young adults but for anyone young at heart who enjoys great sci fi fantasy!
WOW Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Wow.

Okay, so pretend that poor, destitute J.K. Rowling was sitting in that little coffee shop writing Harry Potter in 2014 instead of 1995. After those 12 publishing houses turned her down (true story), she might have tried digital self publishing--not a possibility 20 years ago--where her goal would be to sell Harry Potter for cheap (even free) just to generate word of mouth enough to finance the second book in the series. If she's lucky, the right people will read her little book, she'll get a bunch of positive reviews on and Goodreads, and eventually be able to fulfill her dream of getting the story that lives only in her head out into the hands of readers where it will change the world. It's worked for others (see Hugh Howey, E.L. James), so why not her? Of course, that's not how it happened for Jo and Harry. The 13th publishing house was Bloomsbury...and the rest is history. But can you imagine all the Harry Potters out there, waiting for the right person to find their story?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Earthman Jack. He's the self-published brain child of author Matthew Kadish, and I think Jack is the world's next Harry Potter. He just needs your help.

To say Earthman Jack vs. The Ghost Planet is AWESOME would be the understatement of the year. I loved every page. In fact, I'm tempted to say this may be the most fun I've EVER had reading--and I've read a lot of books.

There's so much I'd like to say about this independently-published treasure. For example, I'd love to fill pages with quotes of some of the most witty, charming, and just plain funny dialogue I've ever read. Or I could write about the characters and tell how endearing they are despite their faults and how they are heroic and brave even though they are scared to death. Maybe you'd like to hear about the themes of love, friendship, owning the consequences of your actions, being true to your heritage, and what it means to be a true hero that fill the spaces between all the words. Of course I should go on and on about the story and how it pulled me along like an unstoppable force, keeping my pulse racing and a smile on my face the whole time.

But I won't go into any of that, because as great as all that was, it wasn't the best part. The best thing about Earthman Jack vs. The Ghost Planet is how much PURE FUN I had reading it. And before I'd even finished the book myself I started reading it out loud to my kids, and they are loving it and laughing out loud in all the right places.

Allow me to get sappy for a minute, but with all honesty--Earthman Jack vs. The Ghost Planet is why I love to read. And I really want to read book number two, Earthman Jack vs. The Secret Army. So hurry and write Matthew Kadish!
