The Third Condiment
When Wixley de Lune was asked to root out a suspected industrial spy among the staff at his pickles company, he couldn't have anticipated the rollercoaster ride he was about to take.
His subsequent annus horribilis - captured in this book in the form of a diary - saw him discover an alternative universe in a garbage bin, tame the world’s largest mouse, write profiles for robot dating sites, and have his bowel turned into a squat for imps. He would uncover a secret plot to take over the world, and the fate of humanity would be decided by a small terrier, a greasy snowman and a pigeon called David Reynolds.
And Wixley would become King of the Moon.
THE THIRD CONDIMENT is a surreal comic novel in the grand British tradition forged by acts such as Monty Python, Reeves and Mortimer and The Mighty Boosh.

This is a book for the lover of sci-fi, the surreal and humorous fiction. It has touch of Reggie Perrin meets Groundhog Day about it at times. But the characters are beautifully zany and, as the book progresses, you really come to care about them and their lives. It kept me turning the pages from start to finish.
