Synopsis

2008: While a U.S. Presidential Election sweeps the mediascape like an obnoxious tsunami, King William announces the United Kingdom's first Novelist Laureate. However, in a daring move, young nihilists have kidnapped the writer: a symbolic act of cultural terror that will bring civilization to its knees... Michael Brett's hilarious short novel will grab you by the scruff of the neck, slam you face-first into a brick wall then beat you senseless with a broken chair leg. OOF. 'Scummy and sledgehammery' - Martin Rowson, Cartoonist Laureate for London.
