It's tough keeping focused with politicians shouting for war, the public demanding peace and an assortment of gods causing untold mischief.

Luckily, young Luxos, Athens' most promising lyric poet (according to Luxos), sees an opportunity to quell the growing discontent in the city, help Aristophanes put on his play and, most importantly, make the Athenians listen to his poetry . . .This is Martin Millar at his best, surprising us with sudden and sharp insights into the life of the outsider. A whimsical and charming fantasy, it's a must-read for fans of Neil Gaiman, Ben Aaronovitch and Kurt Vonnegut. 'Undeniably brilliant' - Guardian'The funniest writer in Britain today' - GQ
