Christopher Brookmyre s critically acclaimed， award-winning comic thrillers are a sensation in his native Britain. The Times (London) has praised his writing for being "perpetually in-your-face: sassy， irreverent， and stylish" with "a high-octane sense of the absurd，" and the Literary Review has raved that his books are "very violent， very funny ... comedy with a political edge， which you take gleefully in one gulp." Now he has his much-anticipated American debut with Not the End of the World， 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 Sergeant Larry Freeman of the L.A.P.D. 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， and a mysterious Glaswegian photographer with an unknown agenda， all in a full-throttled -- and ultimately hysterical -- race against time.
