You saw the cover last week…so now perhaps your appetite has been well and truly whetted and you are overwhelmed with expectation? If not, why are you here?

So here is a brief synopsis to whet it further…I will announce the release date soon, and with feeling…and if you have yet to start the series (why not? are you mad?), perhaps I can recommend going back to the beginning with “Baabaric” and working forwards from there.

SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO DIE…BUT THERE IS FAR WORSE AFOOT

Nether-Staining, Yorkshire and indeed Earth has been destroyed by Gods, yes plural, and the population, which was rescued by aliens just prior to Armageddon, is an accident waiting to happen because they have nothing to do but drink of the Priest’s Hole: the primary reason for their rescue.

But although a life of continuous inebriation sounds wonderful, such delight can only last as long as the beer supply, especially when the alternative drink has a very dubious name. The Universe is about to run out of beer and finding the ingredients to make more is now a matter of life and death.

Heroes are often required in such situations and this time maybe Hippo Man and Blue Boy will meet their match because, quite frankly, superpowers are not in their repertoire and they might just need them.

Journeying across space, time and beyond in search of ale, a good cup of Yorkshire Tea and a bacon sandwich has never been so tough but when you have friendship, a dog, a robot, a space tractor with an attitude problem and someone who cannot stop recalling his many roles in questionable adult movies you have always got a chance.

Maybe this time it is the end…but maybe it is actually the beginning.
