I am delighted to share my review today for B of the Bang by Andrew Shanahan<\/strong>. I came across this title on Kindle Unlimited, it is a fun and unexpected book. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

All across London, billionaires receive an emergency alert from specialist extraction company B of the Bang. A nuclear missile is inbound and society\u2019s elite have less than 70 minutes to reach the bunkers. As they head for the exits, it\u2019s your fault if you get in the way.<\/p>\n

From the\u00a0bestselling indie author<\/strong>\u00a0of the modern classic\u00a0Before and After<\/em>,\u00a0B of the Bang<\/em>\u00a0is a satire of wealth, power, lobsters, inequality and why you shouldn\u2019t flush wet wipes down the toilet.<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n

There should be a genre called \u201cmadcap and mayhem\u201d because this is exactly what this book is. It was a fun one to read and I am glad I did.<\/p>\n

When an alert goes off on the phones of London\u2019s elite, the royals, the rich, and the like, there is a quick rush to the bunkers that they have paid a lot of money to go to in the event of an \u201cend-of-the-world\u201d scenario.<\/p>\n

The story is told from the perspective of several characters, one is a royal who is not quite high enough up the line to be classed as important, a man who teaches computer program stuff, a lobster, a billionaire and a mish-mash of others that they come across.<\/p>\n

The fight and flight scenario is great and it is told in a chaotic but very amusing way. There is no way of working out how things are going to end, I am sure the author wasn\u2019t sure as he wrote it. I cannot imagine how you can plot this storyline.<\/p>\n

This is an unexpected apocalypse story as there are so many antics, ploys and deviations along the way. If you are looking for something different then this would definitely fall into that category. It is one I would be happy to recommend.<\/p>\n

Many thanks for reading my post, a like or share would be amazing \ud83d\ude42 xx<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
