The Brutish Empire has been
blown away by the Change of Winds; the neglected colony of Bugrawlia is all that remains. In a far corner of Bugrawlia a murder at a rinky-dink circus sets a series
of events in motion that eventually have far reaching consequences. What do the various
cultures of Bugrawlia - from the New Nipponese zen harpoonists of the southern
coast, to the tattooed, head-hunting Bugur'tians of
the swamplands, and the Doers of The Burnt-Orange Free State - have up the
sleeves of their varied cultural costumes? Not to mention the superpower, Amerus, and two neighbours, Costa Blanca (a good
neighbour) and Iraquba (the bad neighbour), each
seeking a piece of this crumbling pie for their own reasons. The Governor-General of Bugrawlia, Lord Ludvig de
Sancerre y Brava, decides to wrest back control from the fractious natives. Can
he succeed, with or without the help of his butler and the ghosts of empire
past? When a new energy source is
discovered by Amerussian scientists, Amerus seizes the opportunity to capitalise on the chaos. King Edouard
Katzenellenbogen van der Meer de Bliksemen de Donderin, king of
the Brutish Empire and air-guitarist supreme, comes to Bugrawlia
on a state visit as punishment for a spot of waywardness. Drawn against his will into
the melée is Jason Poligon. He suffers from a strange affliction and has a
murky past. Populated by a gallery of
unforgettable characters, The Year
Zero, the first novel in the Banana
Republic Series, is an uproarious satire of a world of ever increasing
multi-cultural entanglements. Start reading today!
