A tale not to be taken too seriously, with cockroaches, genetically enhanced rats, explosions, hedgehog conspiracy theorists, military coups, adolescent bomb shelter romance and cosmic entities bent on annihilation. The novel contains suggestive language (the PG-rated variety), and those seeking literature are best served by looking elsewhere. However, if you are in the mood for a farcical comedy step right in, and meet:
Arax the Annihilator, an entity bent on destroying the earth;
Henry Stewart, member of the Hedgehog Surveillance Network;
Loretta the rabbit, who just wants to hop free in a meadow;
Omar Sharteen, who wants to bomb his own Parliament building so the US will build a new one;
Peter the Cockroach, a prophet who sees cockroaches as the final survivors;
and a host of others, including but not limited to strippers, teachers, t-shirt vendors, moths, prime ministers and cats.
The author regrets immensely not having any zombies in this book. Or monkeys. Or zombie monkeys.
