NOW READ THE CHUCKLESOME PARODY!
It’s the summer of ’69 and Michelle Phillips witnesses hippy students force her father into early retirement during the gate riots at the LSE. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the fate of the haggis!
Four decades later, MI5 ask nana-field engineer Professor Benjamin King to infiltrate a secretive cabal of complete snobs after a spate of inexplicable disappearances. Ben’s investigation into the Final Front ’ere club will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by obsessive and mind-numbing interactions with the Third Buddy App!
This is the Third Buddy Conundrum, and it is the key to everything: the key to writers disappearing all over the world, the key to a conspiracy that spans a heck of a long way, and the key to the extinction-level event humanity now faces: unless they can find a machete!
