2020 год. В Белфасте построено чудо техники - новый "Титаник". Прапрадедушка 13-летнего Джимми Армстронга утонул на старом "Титанике" в 1912 году, и с тех пор все в их семействе идет наперекосяк. Забияка и двоечник Джимми, которого только что исключили из школы за плохое поведение, тайком пробирается на борт пустого лайнера. Он всего лишь хочет поразить своей…

Lucky Jimmy Armstrong and his friend Claire find themselves deserted by the new Titanic on an unfamiliar shore. With normal life changed forever, the world is left in the hands of cannibals, murderers and gangs. They are back to fighting for survival. Well, that, and running ...fast! Then after overhearing a group of survivors with a startling story they stumble upon the one thing that has become a real rarity -- hope.

This new thriller by the author of Divorcing Jack confirms all the promise of the acclaimed first novel--a powerful page-turner marked by an antic blend of sinister violence and side-splitting dialogue. Bicycling journalist Miller is transferred from Belfast to Crossmaheart, a beleagured and depressed outpost from which--to no one's great surprise--the previous reporter has disappeared.

A much anticipated sequel to Divorcing Jack finds Dan Starkey in New York to write a book about an upcoming boxing bout and dealing not only with racial and political mayhem, but the possible disintegration of his marriage.

Devastatingly witty, ceaselessly inventive and lightning-paced thriller. "A joy from start to finish … reads like The Thirty-nine Steps rewritten for the nineties by Roddy Doyle." Time Out
