Gripping. Brilliant. Wild.
The night of the funeral changes everything for Gary Jones, a 60-year-old computer programmer from Upper Boggington.
One moment, he is discussing beans with his energetic lover, Sharon Ramsbottom; the next, watching with horror as wild robots fire each other.
He knows these robots came from Oxford but he can't prove it - at least not without some stripy potions.
The daring, articulate man knows that his cosy life is over. He acquires some stripy potions and is reborn as the hero who will save the world from wild robots.
However, when Sharon calls, begging him to come home, Gary is forced to decide what is more important: stopping the wild robots that fire each other, or preserving his relationship with his lover?
