Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic
Fiction 'A tremendous novel - droll, savvy, original. An
invigorating blast of fiction' William Boyd 'A superbly
entertaining brain-twister' The Times A hurricane sweeps off the
Gulf of Mexico and in the back-country of Alabama, assembles a
passenger jet out of old bean-cans and junkyard waste. An eccentric
mathematician - last heard of investigating the physics of free
will and ranting about the devil - vanishes in the French Pyrenees.
And the thuggish operatives of a multinational arms conglomerate
are closing in on Alex Smart - a harmless Cambridge postgraduate
who has set off with hope in his heart and a ring in his pocket to
ask his American girlfriend to marry him. At the Directorate of the
Extremely Improbable - an organisation so secret that many of its
operatives aren't 100 per cent sure it exists -- Red Queen takes an
interest. What ensues is a chaotic chase across an imaginary
America, haunted by madness, murder, mistaken identity, and a very
large number of unhealthy but delicious snacks. The Coincidence
Engine exists. And it has started to work. The Coincidence Engine
is consistently engaging - one of the most enjoyable, entertaining
debut novels you'll come across for ages.
