From the author of The End of the World is Flat

When Tara Farrier swaps her life as an aid worker in war-torn Yemen for a London-based consultancy with a US charity, she's hoping for a well-deserved rest. But a lot has happened while she's been away, and she's unprepared for the sensitivities of her new American colleagues, many of whom are in the sway of a hippie-ish cult that says the world was created 10,000 years ago by a First Nation potter goddess.

Tara's outspoken belief in traditional earth science causes offence and she is fired. But she refuses to go quietly and becomes a global cause célèbre. As she is publicly vilified, her supporters muster for a fightback, using the dinosaur as their symbol of resistance. Meanwhile, questions abound. Which 'First Nation' does the goddess actually belong to? And what is the role of conspiracy theorist hoaxer XAnon in the whole affair?

With allusions galore to his acclaimed bestseller The End of the World is Flat, Simon Edge stabs once again at modern crank beliefs with stiletto-sharp satire.
