The Stranger Times: (The Stranger Times 1)

Product Information

Now a multimillionaire, the lonely and reclusive Watts discovers that he has been bequeathed more than he bargained for: Halliday has left him the secret of the OASIS Neural Interface, which directs VR straight into the user’s brain. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone? This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one. The articles on here have been written by Caimh McDonnell with additional material by Sam Gore, Graham Goring, Kahn Johnson, Scott Bennett, Gary Delaney, Mick Ferry, Juliet Myers and Andy White.

Despite the mission failing with the loss of three colleagues, Tanta finds herself promoted to fully accredited agent.well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own. A weekly newspaper that is dedicated to the wonderful and the weird (but mainly the weird), and it’s the go-to publication for the inexplicable and unexplained. Homicidal cherubs, Reliant Robins, irate starlings, hijacked ghosts, floating statues, and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies. Wonderfully dark, extremely funny, and evocative of Terry Pratchett – which I think is the highest compliment I can give. The book has been described as perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Jim Butcher, Ben Aaranovitch, Douglas Adams or, y’know, Caimh.

His debut novel, A Man With One of Those Faces – a darkly comic crime novel – was published in 2016 and spawned The Dublin Trilogy books and the spin-off McGarry Stateside series.It is like the Fortean Times’ unloved trashy cousin that gets drunk at a wedding and throws up in the mother-of-the-bride’s handbag.
