Channel Blue

Earth used to be Galaxy Entertainment’s most lucrative show. The inhabitants of the Western Galaxy – the saviest, richest demographic in the Milky Way – just couldn’t get enough of the day-to-day details of the average Earthling’s life.

But 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.
Only one man can save our planet and he’s hardly a likely hero…

CHANNEL BLUE was published on 2nd January 2014 by Head of Zeus.

“A laugh-out-loud look at the absurdities of modern-day America in the tradition of Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut.”
– Louis Theroux

“With Jay, there are no sacred cows, no punches pulled and no laugh left on the cutting room floor. So skip the blurbs and just start reading this very funny book.”
– Michael Moore

“Jay Martel has written a funny, thought-provoking novel that’s one part Waugh, one part Vonnegut, one part Truman Show, all mixed together in one outlandish cocktail.”
– Tom Perrotta

“Channel Blue is so entertaining, inventive, bawdy and sly that the acid of its social critique sort of sneaks up on you. Months after reading it, I still think about this book regularly as I watch the world’s absurdities unfold, wondering if maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t fiction at all…”
