About the Book

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.
