About me:
Keep up with Nick Harkaway on Twitter!
The Jorgmund Pipe is the backbone of the world, and it's on fire. Gonzo Lubitsch, professional hero and troubleshooter, is hired to put it out - but there's more to the fire, and the Pipe itself, than meets the eye. The job will take Gonzo and his best friend, our narrator, back to their own beginnings and into the dark heart of the Jorgmund Company itself.
From rural childhood in Cricklewood Cove to military service in a bewildering foreign war; from Jarndice University to the sawdust of the Nameless Bar; their story is the story of the Gone-Away World. It is the history of a friendship stretched beyond its limits; a tale of love and loss; of ninjas, pirates, politics; of curious heroism in strange and dangerous places.
Equal parts raucous adventure, comic odyssey, geek nirvana, and cool epic, this is The Gone-Away World.
‘A big new book by a big new writer. Harkaway describes the Gone-Away World in words that whiz and ping. He's the real thing.’
Russell Hoban, author of Riddley Walker
