Previous fiancés have included a storm-chaser, a shaman and a kamikaze base-jumper. This is the closest a wedding has come to happening, and it's to a UFO-chaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second is that, as a result, the wedding is being held in New Mexico. In Roswell. During the UFO festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a series of travel disasters that end with her car sharing with another wedding guest - who also happens to be an FBI agent - a wedding due to take place in the UFO Museum, conducted by a high priest from the Church of Galactic Truth, and a frankly repellent bridesmaid dress, the alien abduction is actually a high point of Francie's day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBundled by an alien into an SUV, which she is forced to drive, what follows is a chaotic road trip, picking up other waifs and strays, hotwiring an RV, and desperately trying to work out what their alien captor actually wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chaotic road trip of a story is delightful fun, perfect for fans of PAUL, GALAXY QUEST and THE ORVILLE. It's a stand-alone entry point into the world of multi-award-winner Connie Willis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46995883262211,"sku":"9781399624176","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781399624176.jpg?v=1752053588","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781399624176","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
