A quintessentially British comedy from author Alastair Pack.
Reviews:
"a perfect mix of humor and intelligence akin to the best of British writers" - The Truth About Books
"I loved reading this book and had a smile on my face from the first page. The characters come to life on the page and readers will be hooked until the very end" - 4 out of 4 stars - onlinebookclub.org
(Audiobook:) "Laugh-out-loud sound effects of a hilarious public address system and haunting robotic voices are zany additions to this Terry Pratchett-like concoction. Roberts is outstanding with an array of accents, goofy wordplay, and dramatic pronunciations of words" - AudioFile Magazine
Back Cover:
Quentin, through no fault of his own, loses his home, his business and the only woman in his life... actually, it's entirely his own fault. He's a slacker. But no more! After briefly turning to crime, Quentin sets out to reverse his fortunes and becomes entangled in a Web of Machinations that includes a tramp suffering from Morgellons (those itchy, itchy Morgellons), a sinister group of computer hackers, a Tibetan boy claiming to be the Chosen One, a mysterious blonde woman and a duck called Stalin. Quentin may have set out to save his home, but now finds himself tasked with saving the world.
