‘Terry Pratchett readers, form an orderly queue!’
Dr. Newton Barlow had everything he could ask for – a glittering career in the lab and on television, a beautiful wife, and best of all, the opportunity to promote his rock-solid certainty that the supernatural world is about as real as a bucket of fairies.
But the cocksure Dr. Barlow is set for a tumble. Mired in accusations of fraud, Newton is disowned by the scientific establishment, ejected from the family home and thrown bodily from his ivory tower.
Three wine-sodden years later, Newton is approached by Dr. Sixsmith, his equally skeptical mentor, with an extraordinary proposition. His rational life in tatters, it’s an offer the former Dr. Barlow is in no position to refuse.
There’s just one tiny little problem.
Sixsmith is dead.
Can Newton forget everything he ever believed in to save this world… and the next?’
A perfect read for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt, Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher, The Unhappy Medium is a wild and hilarious ride through life, death, and the peculiar bit in the middle.
‘This was a seriously funny book, with really enjoyable characters who are well developed. This book will appeal to anyone who likes a good mystery, some action, some adventure, some humor. If you're a fan of Douglas Adams, this is definitely a must read.’
