Plot Summary of The Trouble with Cephae
"If you enjoyed reading John Wyndham's ‘The Day of the Triffids' or ‘The Trouble with Litchen' then Julien Glazer's ‘The Trouble with Cephae' is the book for you. Uninhibited by the social restrictions of Mr Wyndham's day, Mr Glazer explores the rather strange sexual behaviour of both humans and Cephae. In this racy yarn the Cephae are a species of intelligent, witty and well dressed land-based octopus. They are however, plagued with a reproductive anomaly. Firstly, it is the male who becomes pregnant and secondly, the process needs a female mammal surrogate, who dies in the process of giving birth. The intrepid friends, Oswalo and Stilo, torn from their comfortable lives in Eurodon's capital city, find themselves on a reproductive expedition heading for planet Earth where the female mammals find that the Cephae impregnate them eight at a time. Chief Inspector, Brian M.Travis, attempts to solve the mysterious deaths, as Downing Street, harassed by the White House, tries to come to terms with the alien presence. T"
