Ack-Ack Macaque

 
 
Yeah, I HAD to pick this one up!  How could I possibly resist?
 
 
In 1944, as waves of German ninjas parachute into Kent, Britain’s best hopes for victory lie with a Spitfire pilot codenamed ‘Ack-Ack Macaque.’ The trouble is, Ack-Ack Macaque is a cynical, one-eyed, cigar-chomping monkey, and he’s starting to doubt everything, including his own existence.

A century later, in a world where France and Great Britain merged in the late 1950s and nuclear-powered Zeppelins circle the globe, ex-journalist Victoria Valois finds herself drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the man who butchered her husband and stole her electronic soul.
 
Meanwhile, in Paris, after taking part in an illegal break-in at a research laboratory, the heir to the British throne goes on the run. And all the while, the doomsday clock ticks towards Armageddon.

I totally forgot about that one! Saw it on the shelf at BnN awhile back.

I read this when it came out, and it was a lot of fun. There's a sequel already, but I haven't read that yet.

I'm looking forward to it. More Rancho Diablo soon!
