We Have Lost The President: A Funny English Comedy-Thriller-Mystery

London, 2044. Britain is a Republic. President Jan Polak has vanished overnight from Buckingham Palace, just weeks before an election. Has he been kidnapped? Killed? Or just overdone it with the vodka? One man is determined to find out - as soon as he's eaten his breakfast. His name is Pond. Howie Pond â€“ the Presidentâ€™s official spokesperson and wannabe secret agent.

With only a love of James Bond films and London pubs to guide him, Howie sets out on a mission to solve the missing-President mystery. But with his journalist girlfriend, Britt, soon onto the story, the race is on to see who gets to the truth firstâ€¦

POPULAR QUOTES:

"The problem with being so dependable, Howie often told himself, is that everyone starts to depend on you."

"Howie was a senior government comms professional. An ability to be economical with the truth was an essential requirement for the job."

"The vice presidents were like bleepers. They could only handle small packets of information. Otherwise they overloaded and malfunctioned."

"Machines could be economical with the truth, just as humans could be. After all, they were programmed by humans."

"The other dogs snarled at her. Britt snarled back. They backed off. They knew a pack leader when they saw one."
