An extremely mentally unwell packaged goods manufacturer lures the winner of the previous book's sadistic game into his personal, all glass spaceship. The two then leave the surly bonds of earth and reach a space hotel run by the US that the president is on board. The previous book, for the record, took place almost entirely in 1950s/early 1960s era industrial England with no hint of this.

The unauthorized spacecraft approaching the hotel in space triggers its warning system and they declare the small craft with the UPGM and victim pirates who they will blow up. This is all supposed to be very wacky or something, but it just isn't. This meaningless subplot is cast aside and forgotten because space aliens attack.

The space aliens in question have exterminated all other life in this solar system, and as far as the book seems concerned every other solar system. They are capable of traveling over a million miles in a day, shape change, impervious to weaponry, and enjoy playing with their victims. Our leads force their way onto the ship to help out, or something, and the aliens appear in front of everyone to scare them. Most people abandon the ship but not our leads.

The president and some crew stay behind, to I guess fight it or because theyre really stupid, which honestly they are and are written as such. The aliens oblige by devouring dozens of people and gorging themselves on victims. UPGM kind of nonchalantly reveals that its totally hopeless, there was nothing he could ever do, the only defense is that the aliens explode on contact with earths atmosphere. He and his victim then flee back to the glass spaceship, which the aliens latch onto and explode when entering earths atmosphere.

From here on this entire plot is abandoned.

Returning home, UPGM decides its rude that victims elderly relatives are infirm and bed ridden and forces them to drink his magic potion to turn them young. This succeeds in reverting 2 of them to being babys and the third to disappear from existence. Oh no, says UPGM to victim, now we need to travel through dimensions. Again, as a reminder the previous book took place in a world where color TV was a cutting edge invention.

They travel to the minusworld, where negatively aged people go. Here they give the last relative an aging potion and they end up becoming 358. How this does not kill them is unknown, but trust the book, its agony. The victims family then begins mixing the aging and youthing potions according to the UPGMs directions which results in everyone ending up exactly as infirm and bed ridden as before which is frankly disgustingly cruel.

Haha laughs UPGM, Im a malevolent force of chaos who brings only misery with my gifts and curse your household. He doesnt actually say this, but he is. The book ends with him promising to force his victim into more horrible experiences beyond their control.

Speaking of something funny, there was a doctors vs lawyers brawl in Pakistan:





ideo showed the lawyers ransacking wards at the cardiac hospital, beating up staff and smashing equipment.

As panic spread, doctors and paramedics hid, leaving patients unattended, including those in a critical state.

Riot police fired tear gas to disperse the lawyers and more than 20 arrests were made. It took more than two hours to restore order, officials said.

The lawyers had been protesting over the alleged mistreatment of some of their colleagues by hospital staff last month.

But the final trigger for the violence appears to have been a video posted on social media by a doctor on Tuesday night in which he poked fun at the lawyers.
...
According to hospital administrators, more than 200 lawyers wielding sticks stormed Lahore's Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) at midday on Wednesday.

Hospital officials said the lawyers forced their way past security and split into groups, attacking various departments and wards.

Video footage shared on social media showed lawyers - in suits and ties - smashing medical equipment and windows, and beating up staff and officials including Punjab information minister Fayazul Hasan Chauhan who had arrived on the scene to try to restore calm.
...
Hospital sources said at least three patients - a woman and two men - died because doctors could not attend to them during the violence. It is believed that the woman had been in the intensive care unit.

So... are they all criminally responsible for the deaths of patients who died during this stupid stunt? Because I feel like it'd be the case in the US.
