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)

Book Description
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 Morgellons (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.
