Description

Flora is a plucky teenage girl. Cobra is a double agent. Flint Driscoll is a reporter. Captain Smith is a military man. Moon is a bored drone pilot. Daddy Jesus is an inflictor of pain. All they have in common is a very stupid war.

Reviews

'Darkly enjoyable ... one absurdist delight follows another in rapid succession' Guardian. 'Hilarious stuff - very Dr Strangelove' Irish Times. 'Ingenious ... Wonderfully rich' Sunday Telegraph. 'Cynical, funny, harrowing and revelatory' Sunday Business Post.
