This is a stand-alone work; previous experience and licensing are not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething always seems to happen when the Banned Underground, a dwarf rhythm-and-blues band led by a jazz-loving bog troll, are playing. Sadly for them, it is rarely anything good – for them at least. The rest of us always seem to get a good laugh at their predicament. But their world contains more than just pubs and pizza places. There is a Dark Side to some of the people they know: and to one in particular, of course: the Dark Lord of Keswick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce again, the Dark Lord has a cunning plan. And once again someone else is going to have to carry it out for him: that's what henchmen are for, isn't it? To hench? Oh, and to be sent on the risky missions …\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot that this mission should be risky. What could be easier than secretly inserting computer spyware into a laptop, using a Banned Underground gig as a diversion? The Tax Office probably does it all the time. But the Tax Office is not normally being chased for an unpaid credit card bill for a huge round of drinks. (That's our politicians. And the Dark Lord’s henchmen, of course.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd it isn't just any laptop the Dark Lord wants to spy on either. The Government is struggling to find the way out of the Recession without a road map, and what better aid than a SatNav linked to an economic forecasting computer? If the Dark Lord can get inside information on future economic policy, maybe he can clean up and buy a new Mercedes at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there is a mystery: where did the time-travelling SatNav come from in the first place? What if the original owner wants it back?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagic, mayhem and macro-economic policy collide in the latest surreal instalment of the acclaimed comic fantasy collection, The Banned Underground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Will Macmillan Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082514546928,"sku":"2940045281966","price":3.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045281966_p0.jpg?v=1763675419","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045281966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
