5.0

The prescient sci-fi dystopia of a hyper-violent, hyper-sexualised, media-saturated world after environmental, economic and social collapse jumps through the door of a vehicle and kicks the driver in the face in this grand finale. An artificially generated blizzard paralyses Chicago and floods it with refugees, a secretive militia group prepare for a coup, bringing back an unfamiliar and unwelcome face to run the show, Flagg and co move underground and organise the resistance. It's a world where the current US president would feel right at home, which is not a fun thought, but it is a fun book, mad pulpy satirical fun.
