Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0140115714, Hardcover)

In this sprawling, gritty, ambitious work, Amis relates two murders in the making. One is the self-orchestrated extinction of Nicola Six, who persuades one of her lovers to kill her. The second is the murder of Earth itself, whose fate seems intricately bound up with Nicola's. Wildly funny with a rough London setting, this book is by one of England's most brilliant young writers.

"A sprawling, gritty, brilliant, tough-minded, ambitious work, richly rewarding." (Amazon.com)
