A banging action satirical thriller. But it's also a proper novel about the Trumpian era, of the reality TV era, the fake news era. It's managed to say a lot of things in a way that very few other novels are doing and in a very comedic way. -- Irvine Welsh John Niven understands our era better than almost anyone. -- Douglas Coupland The off-colour banter, hellbent on causing offence to all and sundry, masks an unimpeachable commitment to social justice ... [A] full-throttle send up of toxic masculinity ... Niven at full tilt is always something to behold. * Metro * 'A bruising triumph; Amis' Money for the Trump generation. What a monster he's created.' -- Ian Rankin 'Savagely, viciously witty, this frantic hymn to greed is filthy, frenetic and totally fabulous.' * Sunday Mirror *
