"A tremendously funny book."

When Loaf's greed causes the seemingly impregnable Chain protecting Earth from the FOEs to be broken, the Tyrant sends the Bug, his most ruthless enforcer, to get The Server back. As a result, Jack and his friends are stranded on Deadrock, a dangerous planet, crawling with FOEs, and Loaf runs into several representatives of the nastiest loan sharks in the Galaxy. Loaf owes them money and they'd like a word with him.

Back on Earth, the Bug poses as as an agent of the U.S. government and gains control of Merle's father, Colonel Stone, commander of a USAF base in England. Jack and Merle find allies- but the Deadrock Freedom Fighters face terrible odds, and all they have on their side are primitive weapons and a cranky Help application. Oh, and Loaf - but he may have been refomatted-
As revolution rages on Deadrock, Jack and his Friends return to Earth in an attempt to rescue Colonel Stone and keep The Server from the FOEs.

The 2Steves say... "We liked the idea of inventing a planet where all communication had to be through electronic means. This gives the rulers total control over what people say, hence the name of the book. There are some serious themes in this book - censorship, standing up for what you believe in and personal responsibility. Oh yes, it's very funny too!"
