Somewhere over the rainbow and just off the Yellow Brick Road stands Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town. And things are not going well for the city's inhabitants. There have been outbreaks of STC - Spontaneous Toy Combustion. There are strange signs and portents in the Heavens.
Preachers of Toy City's many religions are predicting that the End Times are approaching and that a Toy City Apocalypse will soon come to pass. But can this possibly be true, or is there a simpler explanation - alien invasion, for instance?
With the body count rising and the forces of law and order baffled, it is time for a hero - well, two heroes, actually - to attempt to save the day. Step up, Eddie Bear, Toy City Private Eye, and his loyal sidekick, Jack.
And this time their adventures, fraught with danger, thrills and spills, disasters and daredevilry, excitement, sex and altogether too much alcohol, will take them far from Toy City and into another world, a world wild beyond even their most wild imaginings.
Which should keep them out of the pub for a while.

Industry Reviews

'There's an imaginative plot, and the author's trademark humour, making the result a hugely entertaining and engaging adventure. Eddie Bear and Jack are definitely two of Rankin's most enjoyable creations and hopefully still have many more off the wall adventures to come.' - DREAMWATCH

'The Toyminator has enough running jokes, crazy footnotes and toilet humour to keep even the hardcore fans happy - and keep the new reader chuckling with delight too. It's mad, but wonderfully funny. A typically entertaining, rude and quite bizarre Robert Rankin novel.' - SFX - Sandy Auden

What you're getting is vintage Rankin. Booze sodden private dick Eddie Bear is a marvellous creation. - STARBURST

'The insane clockwork mouse inside Robert Rankin's head shows no signs of running down. This is fantastic news for those of us that relish his compulsive brand of insanity. The master of deranged fantasy.' - THE MORNING STAR - Daniel Coysh

Wacky and slightly peverse. If the title makes you smile, play spot-the-film references. - THE TIMES - Lisa Tuttle
