Highly enjoyable plot & characters with witty dialog. Can't ask for much more than that. I'll definitely be picking up the next in the series.

OK, but Charles Stross does this sort of thing better. A mildly amusing romp about things that man was not meant to know residing in Birmingham prior to the end of the world.

I received this from the authors in exchange for a review. This book will be released in October 2015 and is the 4th in the Clovenhoof series. I have read and reviewed books in this series before (published by Pigeon Park Press), most recently Godsquad and this book is very much in the same vein of writing and humour.

Brother Stephen, is cursed with a face that dooms him to forever being called Trevor, despite no one knowing what a Trevor looks like. He is now a monk living on a small island show more of the coast of Wales, with a small community of monks, and awaiting the arrival of their new Abbot, Eustace. The community are also trying to make their way in the modern world, faced with being regularly cut off from the mainland by weather (and quarantine laws and, well, the youtube effect). Things aren’t helped with the deaths of a number of their community in what could best be described as “suspicious” circumstances.

This just wasn't what I expected. The premise is a great idea but sadly, for me anyway, it didn't live up to the ideas it gave me at the start.
