Now including the sequel: Billionaire Phin An amusing, at times hilarious, novel. How to effortlessly succeed when you don’t particularly want to. Phin, a practical, ugly redhead and technophobe (no TV, or even a phone!), bizarrely becomes an advertising manager in a hi-tech computer firm. He has common sense by the truck-full, so doesn’t quite fit into the US corporate scene. Phin looks after a wayward neighbor’s three kids: as usual, in a sensible, down-to-earth way. He is perfectly happy with his world as it is, and the more people try to quash him, the more he achieves, infuriating everyone along the way. Claire Coates, clever, multilingual Miss Universe, staggers into his world. Could love possibly blossom between these two? Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, he single-handedly causes the dotcom crash. (Bastard!!) A feel good, Walter-Mittyish, pre 9/11 yarn, with a surprising twist in its tail.
