Bruce is a genius. He has developed a way of increasing the growth rate of meat cultured in the laboratory in order to eradicate famine, global warming and that overpowering stench you get in the countryside.
However, Bruce didn’t fully test his invention and it has a completely unwanted and very dangerous effect on shellfish and insects.
Despite destroying all of his research, one of the vials of Bruce’s formula finds its way into the food chain in a small town in the Australian Outback and that’s where the fun begins
Yet another completely balmy gigglefest from the author, featuring a cast of memorable characters and a plot that involves giant witchetty grubs, enormous huntsman’s spiders and a massive moth reminiscent of the old Godzilla movies.
If you haven’t read anything by Simon Carr then this is a good introduction to his very readable style.
