About this ebook
Earth used to be Galaxy Entertainment's most lucrative show. The inhabitants of the Western Galaxy—the savviest, richest demographic in the Milky Way—just couldn't get enough of the day-to-day details of the average Earthling's life. But now Channel Blue's ratings are flagging and its producers are planning a spectacular finale. In just three weeks, their TV show will go out with a bang. The trouble is, so will Earth.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5[Channel Blue] by [Jay Martel] will make you question everything you know. In light of world events that are happening right now maybe we need to show a nicer side of humanity. If you are a fan of Kurt Vonnegut or Cory Doctrow you will enjoy the absurd but humorous spin [Martel] puts on humanity. The question is are you a comedy or tragedy?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Down-on-his-luck screenwriter turned teacher Perry Bunt notices that real life is increasingly unreal, and natural laws are broken on a regular basis: he notices also that these seemingly impossible events mirror the plots of screenplays handed in by his less than gifted students. Only when he follows the gorgeous Amanda Mundo, the most interesting girl in his class, does he discover why the world is topsy-turvy. In true Hitchhiker's Guide/Truman Show style, Earth is actually a reality TV show for alien galaxies, and in response to flagging viewership producers are jumping the shark to attract higher ratings.When that doesn’t work, the plan is for a grand finale, with humanity perishing in an apocalypse conceived by G.O.D., the initials of the show’s producer [the devil is called Satan after an industrial saboteur]. Essentially a rom-com with s-f elements, Channel Blue is a light and fairly predictable read, with the occasional nod toward social commentary.
