About this ebook

I glanced at Dextrose's nose, pock-marked, crimson and bulbous, the overripe strawberry that everyone leaves in the punnet. As I did so, his right nostril blew a bubble of snot that might fascinate a small child.' Having completed his quest to follow in the footsteps of intrepid explorer Harrison Dextrose, Pilsbury has been hit with a revelation - that he is the product of those terrible loins. And that's not all. His mother has been left behind somewhere on the globe and he must find her. (Dextrose's own words.) There ensues an unprecedented adventure. A shaman and his curious son, sozzled rednecks, a sweet old lady, nauseating poetry and the Nameless Highway all stand in Pilsbury's way. Is he up to the task? Aided only by his alcoholic father and a grumpy basketball player, our sort-of hero sets off - looking for Mrs Dextrose.

Author

Nick Griffiths

Nick Griffiths is an author and journalist because NASA wouldn't let him be an astronaut. He has written Dalek I Loved You: A Memoir and Who Goes There, both based around Doctor Who, and the comic novel In the Footsteps of Harrison Dextrose, while writing largely for the Radio Times. He owns a cat named Columbo, who has failed to solve any murder cases, and would love to own a dog but can't get past the idea of picking up its poo in a small plastic bag.
