An everyday story of revolutionary politics, genetically modified food and sexual derring-do in north London.
James is a stand-up comedian whose politics are (he thinks) right-on but whose sex life is (he knows) right-off. When he inadvertently offends the mujaheddin in Afghanistan - and they consequently seek revenge - he sets in motion a highly improbable but hugely enjoyable chain of events which leaves London in chaos. Possibly the first novel in literary history featuring an over-sexed radioactive flightless bird, Nick Revell s new book will delight anyone whose sense of humour is strong enough to cope.Nick Revell s extensive writing credits for radio and television include Drop the Dead Donkey, The Million Pound Radio Show and Sunday Format, which won the 1999 British Comedy Award for best radio comedy.
