the End of...

THE END OF... THE ENDEurope.The hottest summer ever recorded.Suddenly, across the continent, political leaders are peering at their phones.NATO.Something has gone loose.Something that really shouldn't have gone loose at all.And Moscow is no longer picking up the phone.As world leaders descend upon Brussels in an increasingly desperate attempt to prevent World War Three, the emergency meeting rapidly gives way to paranoia, accusations, alcohol, questionable intelligence and decisions that really shouldn't be made by anyone with access to nuclear weapons....and a misunderstanding that really should have been cleared up several hours ago.In MacFarlane's third novel and - her first geopolitical satire - she throws the reader headfirst into a world of geopolitical chaos, disorganised governments and leaders who, after a few drinks, still panic, argue and behave remarkably like one big dysfunctional family.After all, what could possibly go wrong?
