What They're Saying
Critics Review
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 *
‘Brace yourself for another expletive-strewn adventure … Niven pulls no punches … Ingeniously plotted … A scabrously entertaining satire of what it is like to be rich and white in the land of the free … There is a twisted poetry in Niven’s mastery of invective … The payoff is absolutely priceless.’ * The Times *
‘Niven is still able to deliver his foul-mouthed, inventive zingers with gusto, and Stelfox is a fittingly amoral hero for the age of Trump.’ * Mail on Sunday *
A brilliant depiction of the mind of a sociopath. Be warned: this is edgy. * Evening Standard *
