Lucky Jimmy Armstrong and his friend Claire find themselves deserted by the new Titanic on an unfamiliar shore. With normal life changed forever, the world is left in the hands of cannibals, murderers and gangs. They are back to fighting for survival. Well, that, and running ...fast!

2020 год. В Белфасте построено чудо техники - новый "Титаник". Прапрадедушка 13-летнего Джимми Армстронга утонул на старом "Титанике" в 1912 году, и с тех пор все в их семействе идет наперекосяк. Забияка и двоечник Джимми, которого только что исключили из школы за плохое поведение, тайком пробирается на борт пустого лайнера. Он всего лишь хочет поразить своей смелостью одноклассников, но "Титаник" отчаливает, и Джимми волей-неволей приходится пережить множество приключений на море и на суше вместе со своей новой подругой, дочерью владельца судна, Клер. А тут еще во всем мире началась ужасная эпидемия, приведшая к концу Нашей с Вами…

Everyone said the original Titanic was unsinkable. We all know how that story ended. The new Titanic is also supposedly unsinkable. But there are worse things than drowning as Jimmy Armstrong quickly finds out. Stowing away wasn't one of his better ideas but having to work his passage and put up with spoilt girl Claire is enough to make anyone want to jump overboard...That is until he finds out about a mysterious, incurable disease rapidly infecting the population, Suddenly being at sea seems the safest place to be!

A dark and bleakly funny fable, Mohammed Maguire is in some respects quite different from Colin Bateman's continuing series of Dan Starkey bestsellers, but with its humour and wild imagination it will appeal to his growing army of fans.

A much anticipated sequel to Divorcing Jack finds Dan Starkey in New York to write a book about an upcoming boxing bout and dealing not only with racial and political mayhem, but the possible disintegration of his marriage.

This new thriller by the author of Divorcing Jack confirms all the promise of the acclaimed first novel--a powerful page-turner marked by an antic blend of sinister violence and side-splitting dialogue. Bicycling journalist Miller is transferred from Belfast to Crossmaheart, a beleagured and depressed outpost from which--to no one's great surprise--the previous reporter has disappeared.

Devastatingly witty, ceaselessly inventive and lightning-paced thriller. "A joy from start to finish … reads like The Thirty-nine Steps rewritten for the nineties by Roddy Doyle." Time Out
