This hilarious science-fiction comedy novel follows the first case for Noomi Rapier, rookie investigator with The Transdimensional Authority – the organisation that regulates travel between dimensions. When a dead body is found slumped over a modified transdimensional machine, Noomi and her more experienced partner, Crash Chumley, must find the dead man’s accomplices and discover what they were doing with the technology. Their investigation leads them to a variety of realities where Noomi comes face-to-face with four very different incarnations of herself, forcing her to consider how the choices she makes and the circumstances into which she is born determine who she is.
Ira Nayman’s new novel is both an hilarious romp through multiple dimensions in a variety of alternate realities, and a gentle satire on fate, ambition and expectation. Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) will appeal to comedy fans who have been bereft of much good science-fiction fare these last eleven years. Ira’s style is at times surreal, even off-the-wall, with the humour flying at you from unexpected angles; he describes it as fractal humour. Anyone who has read his Alternate Reality News Service stories will know how funny Ira is. The characters we meet from around the multiverse deserve to become firm favourites with all fans of science fiction comedy.
People have said nice things too:
***** (Paul Levinson former president of SFWA, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America)
“It [Welcome to the Multiverse] was freewheeling weirdness, with a distinctly Canadian bent.” (Shirley Meier, author of The Fifth Millennium series)
“I sat nervously in the dentist office waiting to be called to the chamber of doom. My knuckles were white and it was a struggle to keep from bolting. I come from a generation when seeing the dentist was akin to vacationing in Spain during the inquisition. In any case, I opened my copy of Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) to distract myself and started reading. Moments later I erupted with a bark of laughter. The other people in the waiting room glanced at me like I had two heads. I kept reading trying to contain my mirth but it was no use. Another belly laugh tore out of me. I just couldn’t help it. Then a series of chuckles and another belly laugh. At that point the hygienist, with a sidelong glance, escorted me to my appointment. Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) is one of the funniest things I have ever read and it stays funny as the pages turn.” (Stephen Pearl, author of Tinker’s Plague and Nukekubi)
“Ira Nayman is one of the funniest Canadian writers I know… This book is funny in the Douglas Adams sense of the world - crazy, funny bits you'd never think of on your own in a million years…” (Nicole Chardenet, author of Sumer Lovin’)
“very dry, wry, sarcastic, sardonic, tongue-in-cheek, straight-forward and convoluted.” (Mia Darien, author of Cameron's Law )
“[Welcome to the Multiverse] is science fiction in a way, comedy in a way and a detective novel in a way. Read it and you will be a changed person.” (Geoff Nelder, author of ARIA)
“I really, really, really, really, really liked the book, and that is five reallys, so you know I mean it” (Eric Swett, author of Apocalypse Rising)
“intelligently written in a confident and quite unique voice which engages and disarms in equal measure” (Antony Jones, SF Book Reviews)
“My very first impression when I began to read Multiverse was that this was a book that appeared to be written by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams’ hyper-active love child.” (Michell Plested, Irreverent Muse)
“one of the funniest sci-fi books I’ve ever read…it’s been a long time since I’ve read anything as good and inventive as this.” (Risingshadow)
"This is a book that drips with satire, both the obvious critique and backhanded swipe… [although] Nayman is not above making goofy jokes."

About the Author
In his past lives, Ira Nayman was, among other things: a cave painter whose art was not appreciated in his lifetime; several nameless peasants who died before their 20th birthday during the Dark Ages; a toenail fungus specialist in the court of Louis XIV; and Alan Turing's scullery maid. In his current incarnation, Ira is the creator of Les Pages aux Folles, a Web site of political and social satire that will be 10 years old in the first week of September, 2012 (that's positively Paleolithic in Internet years!). Three collections of Alternate Reality News Service (ARNS) stories (Alternate Reality Ain't What It Used To Be, What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children's Toys and Luna for the Lunies!) which originally appeared on the Web site have been self-published in print. Two new volumes of ARNS stories - The Street Finds Its Own Uses for Market Lateralization and The Alternate Reality News Service's Guide To Sex, Love and Robots will be published in 2013. Probably. Hopefully. 2014 at the latest. Ira has produced the pilot for a radio series based on stories from the first two ARNS books; "The Weight of Information, Episode One" can be heard on YouTube. Ira has also written a series of stories that take place in a universe where matter at all levels of organization has become conscious. They feature Antonio Van der Whall, object psychologist. To date, four of these stories have been sold. "A Really Useful Engine" has been published in Even Birds Are Chained To The Sky and Other Tales: The Fine Line Short Story Collection and "Escalation is Academic" has appeared in the anthology UnCONventional. "If the Mountain Won't Come to Mohammed" can be found in Here Be Monsters. "Thinking is the Worst Way to Travel" has been accepted into Explorers: Beyond the Horizon. Several other stories in the series are currently awaiting editorial decisions at various publications. Ira's Web Goddess tells him he should make more of the fact that he won the 2010 Jonathan Swift Satire Writing Contest. So, Ira won the 2010 Jonathan Swift Satire Writing Contest. In another life (but still within this incarnation) Ira has a Masters degree in Media Studies from The New School for Social Research which was conducted entirely online. He also has a PhD in Communications from McGill University. Ira taught New Media part-time at Ryerson University for five years. Whoever created the Karmic wheel has a lot to answer for -

Hilarious detecting across dimensions
By Amazon Customer
Noomi Rapier, a young woman with black hair strands that all stick out at 90 degrees to each other, is our main character and we follow her strange career as a Transdimensional Authority detective. Her inauspicious beginning was at her investiture where by being presented with a yellow vest, the reader is welcomed to one of the first of many puns – mostly hilarious and lateral thinking. Noomi is given as rookie assistant to the experienced Crash Chumley. Before she develops boredom coming to terms with office protocols, such as knowing the Ten Demandments, they are given a murder mystery. Yes, like all the other stories by Ira Nayman, this is hilarious and yet the reader is poked into thinking beyond the conventional.
Interestingly, this novel has a traditional detective framework even if the setting is in a multidimensional multiverse* in which the two detectives meet several doubles of themselves - a cunning disorientating ploy by their suspect, who toys with a prototype Home Universe GeneratorTM. So, we meet the detective novel conventions of man and woman detectives teaming up – and falling for each other in spite of their friction; solve a who-dun-it crime mainly by interrogating suspects and witnesses, and driving around a lot (in a fun Dimensional DeloreanTM).
The difference is that it all takes place in and between universes, where sentient gadgets speak to each other, and with Nayman’s unique bewitching style. And where mysterious characters, such as the one with my favourite name, Jessica Cornflake, appear as a side issue, she pops up at the end making perfect sense (comparatively).
Sex also has a different role in this novel. Besides the gadgets TOM and CATE being told to get a room, the narrator tells us that explicit sex will not be found and that ‘you know how it is... if not you should get out less.’ Further to telling us about the no sex (because they are almost always mind-bogglingly 50 shades of dreadful), we are treated to an item by Frederica Von McToast-Hyphen writing for the Alternate Reality News Service, quoting explicit sex scenes to demonstrate the point. Hah.
There are many other Nayman hilarities. The sentient kitchen, for example, is so possessive that if a human tries to boil an egg ‘it turns the heat up so much you could melt a pavement.’ Science too gets the treatment. The blank pages between p236 and 241 are not a typo but an example of b=rd2 where b = number of blank characters, t=time and d is the speed of lunch squared.
There are more quotes I could throw at you but you must find them for yourself.
There are times when the plot seems laboured. For example the visit to the prison sags somewhat and I don’t think the reader needs four versions of Noomi Rapier to make the point of mulitverse life. Even so the novel is up there with the best of bizarro work such as those by D Harlan Wilson.
Welcome to the Multiverse* is science fiction in a way, comedy in a way and a detective novel in a way. Read it and you will be a changed person.

Clever sci-fi humour!
By "Seregil of Rhiminee"
Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) was a positive reading experience, because it was something totally different. It's a uniquely comic approach to travelling between dimensions and alternate realities. It's an unusually funny reading experience, because the author has a good and clever sense of humour (to be honest, this book is one of the funniest sci-fi books I've ever read). I never would've believed that it would be possible to write this kind of a parody/satire of alternate realities, but fortunately everything seems to be possible.
Here's a bit of information about the plot:
Noomi has always wanted to work for Transdimensional Authority, but her first day at work doesn't go as planned and she finds out that her education at Alternaut Academy wasn't enough to give her a good job. Things change soon and Noomi becomes an investigator. She gets herself a partner, Crash, who begins to teach her. When a body is found, Noomi and Crash begin to investigate what has happened. Their investigation takes them to alternate realities...
There's a lot to like in Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience), because it's a surprisingly entertaining book. The best thing about this book is that the author makes deliciously sharp and sarcastic observations about popular culture and well known things (Angelina Jolie's clones, Moulder Skully, Back to the Future references etc). His clever and a bit twisted sense of humour highlights the happenings.
This book is stock full of funny moments and clever inventions, but I'll only mention a couple of examples so that I don't spoil anybody's reading pleasure by revealing too much information:
The sentient and smart furniture are wonderful inventions, because they make funny comments about several things. For example, the sentient stove is a loveable invention, because it's almost like a metallic pet. The Dimensional Delorian is also a brilliant invention, because everybody who has seen Back to the Future films will recognize where the author got the idea for it.
The newsflashes from Alternate Reality News Service are simply hilarious, because Ira Nayman writes about almost anything that's going on in the world (for example, he writes about sex and peace negotiations). It was difficult not to laugh out loud while reading them. The author also writes sarcastically about computer and video games (it was fun to read the blog entries).
I enjoyed reading about the characters, because they were memorable in their apperance, nature and weirdness.
Noomi is an interesting character, because she has been a passionate fan of the show Jack Ryan, The Transdimensional Authority Police since she was a little child. Noomi is a fascinating character, because she has always wanted to work for Transdimensional Authority and when she got her chance, she was at first more than a bit disappointed, but then became happy when she got to do what she wanted. (Noomi's other incarnations are also fascinating characters.)
Noomi's partner, Crash, is also an interesting character, because he is "one of the boys", but also mentors Noomi. For example, he shows other guys that he's a tough guy by shouting at Noomi in front of others, but at the same time he tries to be a nice guy by teaching her different things.
This book is a fantastic combination of different elements:
Although Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) is full of humour, it also contains philosophical elements. These elements manifest themselves in the scenes where Noomi meets her different incarnations. It was interesting to see how Noomi reacted to the other incarnations and thought about her life and the choices she had made. In my opinion the author handles this thing well.
Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) is also an interesting and a bit different kind of a murder mystery. As Noomi and Crash travel from place to place, their investigations shed light on several things about alternate realities.
It's possible that it may take a bit of time for the reader to get used to the author's writing style, but when the reader gets used to it, he/she will love the story. The writing style differs greatly from other sci-fi authors' writing styles and that's a good thing, because the humour probably wouldn't work as well as it does if the author had written this book in a different way. His complex and long sentences are a nice change for short and easily understandable sentences, because they require more attention from the reader.
I'm sure that readers who are familiar with science fiction books, films and franchise will have a good time reading Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience), because the author has managed to add an amazing amount of references to popular culture. When I began to read this book, I couldn't help but wonder how the author had come up with all the stuff that he wrote about, because it's been a long time since I've read anything as good and inventive as this.
This book reminded me a bit of Douglas Adams' books, but in my opinion Ira Nayman has a slightly more sarcastic sense of humour than Douglas Adams. As I think more about the author's sense of humour, I think it's possible to say that it's pretty close to Stephen Fry's sense of humour. I recently read Stephen Fry's Mrs Fry's Diary and How to Have an Almost Perfect Marriage and they contained the same kind of sharp and sarcastic humour (the only difference is that they weren't science fiction, but humorous books about marriage and family life).
If you're looking for a funny science fiction book, please do yourself a favour and read Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience). It's pure entertainment from start to finish. It can be recommended for all readers who enjoy reading comic science fiction. This book is almost like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the 21st century, so fans of Douglas Adams will probably love it.
Fantastic sci-fi humour!

Be Wary of a Woman Carrying Chopsticks
By Eric W. Swett
It is almost impossible to turn on the television today and not shake your head at how absurd the world has gotten. People are famous for doing nothing. Athletes make more money than the President. Corporations are people. The list goes on and on. It is enough to boggle the mind. Now imagine all of that absurdity multiplied by an infinite number of universes and the absurdity quotient for any rational mind threatens to be dangerously high. Fortunately, Ira Nayman has done his utmost to contain the absurdity into a tidy little book apologetically titled, Welcome to the Universe - Sorry for the Inconvenience.The book follows the adventures of Noomi Rapier, aspiring Agent of the Transdimensional Authority as she and her new partner follow the trail of a clever villain intent on personal entertainment.
Welcome to the Universe follows the grand tradition of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The humor certainly leans toward the absurd and there are enough pop culture references, both current and obscure, to bring a smile to anyone's face. The writing is clever and mixed up just enough to make the book something special. The main characters are the two points of consistency in a topsy-turvy multiverse and you can't help but root for Noomi.
If I had any complaint with this book it was the ending. I wanted a little more...something, but it is hard to put my finger on it. It almost felt like the author ran out of pages and called it a day.
All things said and done, I really, really, really, really, really liked the book, and that is five reallys, so you know I mean it.
