The only thing harder to win than a war is the peace that follows it...
A year on from the human-machine war, both sides are struggling to share custody of the solar system.
Prime Minister Fuji Itsu should be fighting Carin Parkeon, the parking meter determined to become the planet's new manager. But no one has seen Fuji since she fell through the Earth's crumbling concrete crust.
Janice, the First Minister Janice of the Battlestar Suburbia has learned two truths. Humankind is only two meals from anarchy, and you should think twice before giving planning approval to a new supermarket.
Somewhere in between, breadmaker turned secret agent Pamasonic Teffal is trying to bring the sides together without curdling them.
In this hilarious successor to Battlestar Suburbia and Battle Beyond the Dolestars, humans and robots alike will learn the solutions to their problems lie not in the stars but in the ground beneath their castors. It's time to Sashay to the Centre of the Earth.
Chris McCruddenwas born in South Shields (no, he doesn't know Cheryl) and has been, at various points in his life, a butcher's boy, a burlesque dancer and a hand model for a giant V for Victory sign on Canary Wharf. He now lives in London and, when not writing books, works in PR, so in many ways you could describe his life as a full-time fiction. If you like science fiction, graphs and gifs from RuPaul's Drag Race you can follow him on Twitter for all three, sometimes at once @cmccrudden
