Novelty

Leon Dermot

"Darkly funny and brilliantly unhinged" — Kirkus Reviews "A chaotic black comedy about a man with a messiah complex." — Kirkus Reviews If Fight Club, Money, and The Motorcycle Diaries had a three-way, Novelty would be their web-toed, mutant lovechild. Finn Balor is a depraved billionaire and polymath with a vendetta against fate and an insatiable appetite for hedonism. Obsessed with the idea that free will is a fallacy, he invents the Oracle—a quantum device capable of reshaping reality. Determined to break the chains of causality, Finn founds Q-Path, a radical underground sect, and unleashes his fanatical acolytes upon an unsuspecting world. But as Q-Path spreads chaos, Finn is forced to confront an unsettling question: is he humanity’s saviour or its saboteur? And is Finn Balor really who he claims to be? Praise for Novelty: "Darkly funny and brilliantly unhinged" —Kirkus Reviews "Dermot effectively plunges readers into the chaotic and likely unbalanced mind of his protagonist." —Kirkus Reviews "Expect the unexpected might be a cliché, but it fits this deeply original novel nicely." — Independent Book Review "Akin to The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin... Liberate humanity from the fate of determinism with this reality-shaking book" — Independent Book Review Voiced by Stephen Dalton Stephen Dalton is a highly sought after male voiceover artist.
