From the author of The End of the World is Flat

The Terg wars are over. Now meet the Yerfs

'Brilliant! Perfectly captures both the absurdity and horror of this madness'. Gareth Roberts.

When Tara Farrier returns to the UK after a long spell as an aid worker in war-torn Yemen, she’s hoping for a well-deserved rest.

But a cultural battleground has emerged while she’s been away, and she’s unprepared for the sensitivities of her new colleagues at an international thinktank. A throwaway reference to volcanic activity millions of years ago gets her into hot water and she discovers she belongs to the group reviled by fashionable activists as ‘Young Earth Rejecting Fascists’, or ‘Yerfs’. Faster than she can say ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’, she is at the centre of a gruelling legal drama.

In the keenly awaited follow-up to his acclaimed The End of the World is Flat, Simon Edge stabs once again at modern crank beliefs and herd behaviour with stiletto-sharp satire.

Industry Reviews

'Brilliant! Totally gripping, perfectly capturing both the absurdity and horror of this madness. I laughed out loud lots and I got quite emotional - with both anger and joy' Gareth Roberts, author of Gay Shame; 'The world is not beyond satire. I know this thanks to Simon Edge' Jonathan Kay, Quillette
