Description

Boris Johnson's first novel, Seventy-Two Virgins is a no-holds-barred political satire, a comic romp peopled with a gallery of grotesques which lampoons both the absurdities and the extremes of modern society. The American President, on a State Visit to Britain is giving a major address to a top-level audience in Westminster Hall.

Ferocious security – with some difficulties in communication – is provided by a joint force of the United States Secret Service and Scotland Yard.

The best sharpshooters from both countries are stationed on the roof of the Parliament buildings. Then a stolen ambulance runs into trouble with the Parking Authorities.

A hapless Member of Parliament, having mislaid his crucial pass, is barred from Westminster, his bicycle regarded as a potential lethal weapon. And a man going by the name of Jones, although born in Karachi, successfully slips through the barriers, and a whole new ball game starts. Despite the united efforts of the finest security minds, events begin to spin out of control.

A remarkable new worldwide reality television show dominates the airwaves. And the most unlikely heroes emerge…
