His American debut, Not the End of the World, is a fast and furious novel set in Los Angeles at the near side of the millennium, at a point when the world is about to spin out of control -- and maybe out of existence. When an oceanic research vessel is discovered with all of its crew vanished, it sets off a chain of events that pulls Lt. Larry Freeman of the LAPD out of the ho-hum assignment of overseeing the security for a B-movie film festival and headlong into a frenzied race to stop a terrorist plot. Along the way he must contend with aging porn stars, rabid evangelical Christians, a mysterious Glaswegian photographer, and an unknown agenda, all in a frenzied -- and ultimately hysterical-race against time. \"Imagine Day of the Locust updated and rewritten by Carl Hiaasen. ... Good solid fun.\" -- Kirkus Reviews \"Perpetually in-your-face: sassy, irreverent, and stylish ... [with] a high-octane sense of the absurd.\" -- The Times (London) \"Very violent, very funny ... comedy with a political edge, which you take gleefully in one gulp.\" -- Literary Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press \/ Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53045416231223,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":65.01,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780802139153","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
