Gareth Roberts is a terrible person but unfortunately The Highest Science is not a terrible book.

I think it was the YouTuber DAVIS (who consistently makes great points) who said that, at least in the novels, Gareth Roberts emulated Douglas Adams the best and I find it hard to disagree.

Genuinely funny with a great personality, uses Benny much better than Transit and introduced some fantastic lore elements, especially with the brilliant Chelonians.

It is somewhat slow at points and kind of just ends without much of a pay-off but it’s is by far the best of this initial Benny Trilogy.

7/10
