Buy from…

Rock n Roll Babes from Outer Space is an hilarious erotic romp by Linda Jaivin, author of the best-selling Eat Me. The big bang was never so much fun.

Baby, Doll and Lati, three spunky alien babes, are trapped on Nufon, the most boring planet in the entire yoon. They steal a spaceship and arrive in Sydney, Planet Earth, in search of sex, drugs and rock n roll. When the babes abduct Jake, a minor rock star and dread-headed charmer, and toss him in their saucer’s sexual experimentation chamber, the global warming begins.The babes form a band, and rocket to rock n roll stardom.

Trouble is, Jake and Baby are falling in love, a posse of Nufonians is headed for Earth, the US military is on the case and Eros the talking asteroid wants to dive into the mosh as well. The babes are planning their biggest gig, but can they save the world too?

Linda Jaivin was born in the United States, and graduated with honours in Asian history from Brown University. She studied, lived and worked for nine years in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, before moving to Australia in 1986. In 1992 Jaivin co-edited the anthology New Ghosts, Old Dreams: Chinese Rebel Voices with Geremie Barmé.

She followed Eat Me with Rock n Roll Babes from Outer Space; Miles Walker, You’re Dead; the novella Dead Sexy; The Infernal Optimist, which was shortlisted for the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal; and A Most Immoral Woman, based on the affair between the Australian journalist George ‘Chinese’ Morrison and the American heiress Mae Perkins in China and Japan in 1904. Jaivin has also written two works of non-fiction—the essay collection Confessions of an S&M Virgin and the China memoir The Monkey and the Dragon—along with numerous articles, stories and plays. She is a literary translator who has subtitled films by such leading Chinese directors as Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) and Zhang Yimou (Hero).
