The Last Tobacco Shop In The World

It's the year 2040 and Anton Brick finds isolation on Rabbit Island more appealing than his job as a syrup monkey chasing fringe supplies of oil in Iraq. With the world under pressure from plagues and controlling government forces, Anton encounters a tobacco lawyer pitching a job on Jarangwa, a tiny slice of post-tsunami apocalyptica in the Andaman Sea. Putting further distance between himself and the challenge of his troubled relationships, Anton lands on autonomous Jarangwa inspired by the promise of a large salary, only to discover an enigmatic island governed by complex personalities and frightening personal ambitions.

As told through the engaging, often comical impressions of Anton's unique first-person narrative, The Last Tobacco Shop in the World is off-beat future fiction that interprets several of today's most relevant modern issues with Orwellian-like zeal, producing a highly imaginative, entertaining story that is both richly poignant and darkly intense.
