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’ latest comedy-thriller set in the Britain of the future…

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY
"Great fun! Fast-paced comedy and suspense with a generous serving of satire. You'll want to read the series."
"I don't even like coffee ... but this book was still terrific. I love how so many of the side characters continue to appear in these novels. Makes it feel more real ... I read it on a plane and startled my seatmate a few times when I couldn't suppress the giggles. Fast-paced and fun, with a light mystery woven into the fabric. Howie and Britt rock. I can't wait for the next one!"
"Great book! Really funny quirky English humor! I am starting on the first book now, We Have Lost The President. But books are easily read independently."
"A real kick ... And a fun read."
"I have read all three of the 'We Have Lost the ...' books, and they started out good and are getting better ... The characters are 3-dimensional, well developed, likable and consistent throughout. The story lines are fun, and the humor will make you laugh out loud at times. I am waiting for #4. Thank you, Mr. Mathews."
"Another entertainingly funny novel by Paul Mathews ... A happy read."
