"A head-spinning cliffhanger that reads a bit like Harry Potter for grownups. . . . It would be a shame if no movie were made from this glorious piece of kaleidoscope-fiction." --The Wall Street Journal
"Brilliant, wholly original, and a major-league hoot." --The Seattle Times "Nick Harkaway has created a brand new genre: Existential pulp . . . Redolent of comic books and action serials, but there are also serious questions about the nature of existence and personhood being asked. . . . So over the top, it redefines where the top is." --io9 "A big, gleefully absurd, huggable bear of a novel. . . . Harkaway's prose is playful and beguiling, with a keen satiric edge." --Slate"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A rollicking romp of a spy thriller from the acclaimed author of The Gone-Away World. "A head-spinning cliffhanger that reads a bit like Harry Potter for grownups. It would be a shame if no movie were made from this glorious piece of kaleidoscope-fiction." The Wall Street Journal Joe Spork fixes clocks. He has turned his back on his fathers legacy as one of Londons flashiest and most powerful gangsters and aims to live a quiet life. Edie Banister retired long ago from her career as a British secret agent. She spends her days with a cantankerous old pug for company. That is, until Joe repairs a particularly unusual clockwork mechanism, inadvertently triggering a 1950s doomsday machine. His once-quiet life is suddenly overrun by mad monks who worship John Ruskin, psychopathic serial killers, mad geniuses and dastardly villains. On the upside, he catches the eye of bright and brassy Polly, a woman with enough smarts to get anyone out of a sticky situation. In order to save the world and defeat the nefarious forces threatening it, Joe must help Edie complete a mission she abandoned years ago, and he must summon the courage to pick up his fathers old gun and join the fight. From the acclaimed author of "The Gone-Away World," blistering gangster noir meets howling absurdist comedy as the forces of good square off against the forces of evil, and only an unassuming clockwork repairman and an octogenarian former superspy can save the world.
