SFX

The Ministry of Serendipity at Mornington Crescent runs everything. And that is everything.

When the Ministry learns of a spacecraft that crashed four thousand years ago into the Pacific Ocean it sends an elite team of paranormal investigators to recover it. A mad alien thaws out, there is hell and horror all around and thousands flee in terror.

Porrig has inherited a planet, or it might be a bookshop, or it might be a gateway into another world.

And Porrig is worried, because he has learned a terrible secret. But if he told people, would they listen? No.

But perhaps they should, because a mad alien has thawed out, there is hell and horror all around and thousands are fleeing in terror.

And there is every likelihood of there being a bloody big explosion at the end. Will Porrig manage to do anything about it at all?

Reviews for Apocalypso

'He does for England what Spike Milligan does for Ireland. There can be no higher praise' * Mail on Sunday * 'We read Rankin for his exuberant salmagundi of old jokes, myths urban and otherwise, catchphrases, liberatingly crazy ideas, running gags, recurring characters and locations, unreliable autobiogrpahical anecdotes...His impressively individual style means that he becomes funnier the more you read him' * Independent *
