GLORY BE AND HAIL BRENTFORD. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN After more than a decade, Jim Pooley, John Omally, Neville, Norman, Professor Slocombe and all, make a welcome return to Brentford for their greatest ever adventure. Spanning three books, of which this is the first, Robert Rankin is proud to present to you a mighty epic that will be the final Brentford Trilogy (no, really!). So, what's it all about then? Well..... They are building a ring road around Brentford. Why? Well, no one seems to know for sure. No one that is, but for the unfeasibly charismatic town clerk, Mr Pocklington. A man of somewhat supernatural abilities. Could there possibly be more to this ring road business than meets the eye, we ask ourselves. Might there just be something really really sinister going on which may spell doom and desolation, not only for London's best loved borough, but the very world as we know it? Might there be, perchance, an ancient enemy bent upon hideous revenge, reawakening? Could this indeed be something of a mind-boggling, world -threatening persuasion? Well, of course it could. Because this is Brentford and there wouldn't be much of a story otherwise.
Author
"When Robert Rankin embarked upon his writing career in the late 1970s, his ambition was to create an entirely new literary genre, which he named Far-Fetched Fiction. He reasoned that by doing this he could avoid competing with any other living author in any known genre and would be given his own special section in WH Smith." (from Web Site Story) Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales, a fitting description, assuming that he isn't lying about it. From his early beginnings as a baby in 1949, Robert Rankin has grown into a tall man of some stature. Somewhere along the way he experimented in the writing of books, and found that he could do it rather well. Not being one to light his hide under a bushel, Mister Rankin continues to write fine novels of a humorous science-fictional nature.
