Book SynopsisADAPTED BACKWARDS VIA THE FUTURE FROM THE RADIO 4 SERIES BEFORE IT WAS MADE
A richer, deeper, more comprehensive exploration of the Quanderhorn phenomenon. With added secrets.
England, 1952.
A time of peace, regeneration and hope. A Golden Age.
Unfortunately, it''s been 1952 for the past 65 years.
Meet Professor Quanderhorn: a brilliant, maverick scientific genius with absolutely no moral compass. Assisted by a rag-tag crew - his part-insect son (reputedly ''a major breakthrough in Artificial Stupidity''), a recovering amnesiac, a brilliant scientist with a half-clockwork brain, and a captured Martian hostage - he''ll save the world.
Even if he has to destroy it in the process.
With his Dangerous Giant Space Laser, Utterly Untested Matter Transfuser Booth and Fleets of Monkey-driven Lorries, he''s not afraid to push the boundaries of science to their very limit.
And far, far beyond ...
Trade ReviewDaftly satirical... Grant, a co-creator of RED DWARF, and Marshall, writer of 2POINT4CHILDREN, bring their formidable sitcom talents to bear on this parody of Quartermass and Dan Dare. * FINANCIAL TIMES *
