The Darwinverse: The Darwin Delusion (Series #3) (Paperback)

In the gripping thrilling and utterly bizarre finale to Ian McLeod s Darwin Trilogy we find Our Hero John Madison Darwin in deep trouble after the events of CURRENTLY UNTITLED. To make matters worse his madcap entourage of minions friends and cohorts are each faced with their own difficulties ranging from espionage within a publishing company to arguing the finer points of theology to running afoul of the Russian Mob. The story culminates in an action-packed series of unlikely and horrible events beyond the control of Our Hero but in some way related to the publication of his now-world-famous novel [redacted]. As he himself is helpless to stop the endless onslaught Carrie Natalia Donovan and the rest must use all their wit and cunning to stop the threats against them...only to make matters worse. In this satirical parodic portrait of 21st century existential schizophrenia (caused of course by excessive exposure to media and pop-subculture) you brave reader will find action thrills misplaced romance gratuitous violence and language car chases metaphysical ennui dei-ex-machina (plural!) sociopolitical commentary stereotyping even fourth-wall-breaking terrors from the Id...the author even breaks the one rule to writing a good novel that most postmodernists haven t even dared to break--and does so repeatedly just for a laugh. The only thing left out was the kitchen sink...and that was just an oversight.
