AT LAST!
The much-longed-for final part of the stupendous ARMAGEDDON trilogy.
And so it came to pass that on 27 July 2061 in the land of Eden, the money-free Utopia, Rex Mundi did toil mightily in his back garden. And he did excavate a cesspit like unto the one which his wife Christeen - the daughter of God and the twin sister of Christ - had been giving him GBH of the earholes regarding the need for therewith.
And verily in the midst of his labours did Rex's spade strike a buried object of not inconsiderable size.
And lo. It were a marble statue of Elvis Presley.
Oh yes siree!
For Elvis looms large here, much to Rex's discomfort, which is further increased when he discovers that the walls of Jericho fell to the strains of 'It's Now or Never' and that David slew the dwarf Goliath wearing blue suede shoes. When Rex is confronted with The Singular Case of the Purloined Presliana, and the Luminous Order of the Sacred Sprout, he realises things are getting out of control...

Another set of adventures ensue and we follow Rex to his ultimate goal - a return to his life with the daughter of God - Christine.
I dont think this book would work as a standalone, its a little harder to get through, perhaps a little strained. I think it could fall foul o putting in too much ground work before it gets to the point. But its still exciting, strange, twisted and absorbing.
Buy it to finish the trilogy off - but make sure you have read the first two.
Of the 3 Armageddon books this volume has by far the highest gag factor, with at least a dozen running gags, and on average a joke in every paragraph, though inevitably with the 'throw everything at the wall' approach not all of the jokes stick. The downside is that this has the least engaging plot-line of the trilogy - the final explanation of what's actually going on is fine, but for too much of the book it's unclear just where the storyline is going and what the characters are trying to achieve.
A good climax ensures that whilst this slightly flabby novel is the weakest of the trilogy, it's still a fairly hilarious read, with a nice line in post-modern self-aware fictional characters. All in all the Armageddon books are as ingenious as they are insane, and are highly recommended to all madmen everywhere. Enjoy.
