Synopsis
''Beard sank into a gloom of inattention, not because the planet was in peril - that moronic word again - but because someone was telling him it was with such enthusiasm''
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. He now spends his days speaking for enormous fees and half-heartedly heading a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time, she''s having the affair.
When Beard''s professional and personal worlds collide in a freak accident, an opportunity arises for Beard to simultaneously save his marriage and the world from environmental disaster.
''Savagely funny... Enormously entertaining'' Sunday Times
''A satirical masterpiece...it will come to be regarded as a classic'' Daily Telegraph
''A stunningly accomplished work, possibly his best yet'' Financial Times
