Summary

Brought to you by Its Majesty's Government. Greatest Britain: For a Global Universe.

Strap yourself in and maybe put on a crash helmet, Agent Isaac Steele has another case to crack.

The theft of the Best Idea in the Universe from Thresia's Intergalactic Bank of Ideas plunges the Discovered Universe into chaos. With a robotic partner who’s not the machine he fell in love with and a mind as cool and measured as a forest fire, Isaac must unravel a cosmic conspiracy that stretches further than the reaches of even his depraved imagination.

Earth and Thresia teeter on the brink of war as the race to recover the Best Idea intensifies. Yet in this bizarre Universe, truth proves stranger - and far more perilous - than fiction.

So put on that helmet and possibly add kneepads actually for a mind-bending journey through space, time, and the occasional bar in this latest adventure from the brilliantly warped mind of BAFTA winner Daniel Rigby.

Available in Dolby Atmos

Somehow hilarious and serious

A hilarious follow up to the forever man, a true sci fi adventure if sci fi was always written by some sarcastic pillock trying to tell a story half remembered.

The New Hitchhiker’s

I grew up a massive Douglas Adams fan, and this scratches an itch that I feel has been getting steadily more and more annoying for years. It’s silly, all over the place, but brilliant and creative. It’s just a really good time.

The Greatest British Empire is under attack

I know it has been compared to H2G2 a lot and to say again is a bit cliché but it really does have the absurd humour of Adams' works but combines with the acerbic characters find in Yahzee Croshaw's works. The highest of praise and can't wait for book three.

Excellent, funny and original!

This story was excellent, it was very funny and original in that it is totally different to most stories I have read before. Give it a try but obviously get the previous book first ☺️

Performance is amazing

Good fun sequel. Really enjoy Rigby’s sense of humour, succinct structure without much flannel, and his delivery.

Shoutout to whoever does the little sound effects.

I know he’s an actor but if he could put a couple of these books each year it would make me very happy.

Daniel Rigby really knows how to bring a universe to life!

A great follow-up to the first book, with the same great balance of extremely silly and very vivid storytelling. Looking forward to the next installment!
