_____________________
The long-awaited sequel to KILL YOUR FRIENDS
It is 2017 – the time of Trump, Brexit and fake news. And time for the return of Steven Stelfox, exactly twenty years on from his Britpop heyday.
Now forty-seven and rich beyond the dreams of avarice, Stelfox works only occasionally as a music industry ‘consultant’. A fixer. A problem solver. He’s had a call from his old friend James Trellick, now president of Unigram, one of the largest record companies in America. Trellick has a huge headache on his hands in the shape of...
Lucius Du Pre. The biggest pop star on earth. Well, once the biggest pop star on earth. Now he’s a helpless junkie and a prolific, unrepentant sexual predator. Through a programme of debt restructuring so complex even Trellick can barely understand it, Du Pre is massively in hock to the record company. The only way he can possibly pay it off is to embark on a worldwide comeback tour he’s in no shape to do. The picture is further complicated when the parents of one of Du Pre’s ‘special friends’ begin blackmailing him. If their video gets out, Du Pre’s brand will be utterly toxic and will take Unigram down with it.
Enter Stelfox stage right. Only he has the lack of morality to spin this one. With stealth and cunning he begins to chart a road out of the nightmare and to make a killing in the process. For this age of ‘American carnage’ – of populism, of the lowest common denominator, of the Big Lie – is truly Stelfox’s time to shine. But in this time of uncertainty, nothing is a given.

‘A banging action satirical thriller. But it’s also a proper novel about the Trumpian era, of the reality TV era, the fake news era. It’s managed to say a lot of things in a way that very few other novels are doing and in a very comedic way’ IRVINE WELSH
'A bruising triumph; Amis' MONEY for the Trump generation. What a monster he's created' IAN RANKIN
‘John Niven understands our era better than almost anyone’ DOUGLAS COUPLAND
‘A scabrously entertaining satire of what it is like to be rich and white in the land of the free if you are utterly depraved, “where money doesn’t just talk, or swear, it nukes”. … There is a twisted poetry in Niven’s mastery of invective’ THE TIMES
‘Savagely, viciously witty, this frantic hymn to greed is filthy, frenetic and totally fabulous’ SUNDAY MIRROR
‘A full-throttle send up of toxic masculinity … Niven at full tilt is always something to behold.’METRO

John Fucking Niven!
I’ve you have read “Kill Your Friends”, which I’d hope you have, this frankly brilliant book picks up that ball and runs with it the full length of the field to score the most amazing touch down! Pick it up, read (or listen) to it and don’t stop until you are done.

Spectacularly wrong
So good. Dark. Brilliant. John Niven smashes it again. (This sounds like a GQ review, but it is seriously such a good read/listen)

Absolutely brilliant
Perfect follow on story of a narcissistic sociopath! Great references to the previous book and always amazing characters. Please wire another! Second favourite narrator of all time after Rintoul.

I can’t see what’s not to like
Ideal formula for an enjoyable audiobook. Strong characterisation, good pace and a purposeful narrative line. There’s no scope for confusion or uncertainty. Together with ‘Kill your friends’, I liked it. I’d recommend you read them back to back. Fun, light and satisfying.
I need to be clear, it’s a history of the career of a man without morals, a man of his time, prepared to do anything to get what he wants, and he wants more and more as his reach expands. Nothing essential changes. He’s rotten from start to finish. Only his capacity to maim and kill grows. In this respect the story is a warning. You might see parallels with Trump?

Awesome. Again. Always.
Absolutely stunningly offensive to the snowflake generation; absolutely beautifully hilarious to anyone with a balanced brain.

Brilliant
Not every book as good as Kill Your Friends has a sequel that matches it. Completely worth the 10 year wait, highly recommend.

Fabulously disgusting
A tour de force of addictive depravity. A must listen you will be trapped in the peculiar insanity of a world of a polluted soul without any hope of redemption. But who gives a fuck?
