    About this audiobook

    London, 2045. Three months into the Coffee Wars, and Britain's caffeine supplies are at critical levels. Brits are drinking even more tea than usual, keeping a stiff upper lip and praying for an end to it all.

    A secret Government coffee stockpile could save the day . . . but then mysteriously disappears overnight.

    One man is asked to unravel the missing-coffee mystery. His name is Pond. Howie Pond. And he's in desperate need of a triple espresso. Meanwhile, his journalist wife, Britt, is hunting royal fugitive Emma Windsor on the streets of the capital.

    Can Howie save the British Republic from caffeine-starved chaos? Will the runaway royal be found? And just what will desperate coffee drinkers do for their next caffeine fix? Find out in Paul Mathews's latest comedy-thriller set in the Britain of the future.

      This rather unusual mystery takes place in a futuristic London. The royals are out and the country has a president. While this book can be read as a stand-alone, not having the background on the state of things could be a mite confusing. The title grabbed my interest, and I bypassed the first two books in the series. Catching up on things wasn’t too difficult, but it would have been better to read from the beginning of the series. In this novel, the country is in a state of coffee deprivation, and Howie Pond is trying to locate the government’s secret store that has gone missing. Meanwhile, his journalist wife Britt is trying to locate her own missing party: one of the royals is now a runaway fugitive. There’s a scary moment or two and plenty of humor in this adventure. Just make sure you have a cup of coffee, and keep your eyes open, because you never know. . .
