A wildly entertaining debut novel, introducing a bold new voice that combines
antic humour with a stunning futuristic vision to give us an electrifying original
version of the apocalypse.
The Jorgmund Pipe is the backbone of the
world,and it's on fire.Gonzo Lubitsch, professional hero and troubleshooter,is hired to put it out - but there's more to the fire,and the Pipe itself,than meets the eye.The job will take Gonzo and his best friend,our narrator,back to their own
beginnings and into the dark heart of the Jorgmund Company itself.
From rural childhood in Cricklewood Cove to military service in a bewildering foreign war;from Jarndice University to the sawdust of the Nameless Bar;their story is the story of the Gone-Away World.
It is the history of a friendship stretched beyond its limits;a tale of love
and loss; of ninjas,pirates,politics;of curious heroism in strange and dangerous places.Part adventure,part comic odyssey, and part geek nirvana,this is 'The Gone-Away World'.Author's debut novel.
