For Theo Bernstein it is far, far more.\n\nAn accident at work lost Theo his job (and his work involved preventing a Very Very Large Hadron Collider from blowing up, so he's unlikely to get it back). His wife has left him, he doesn't have any money, and news arrives that his good friend Professor Pieter van Goyen, renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, has died.\n\nBy leaving the apparently worthless contents of his safety deposit to Theo, however, the professor has sent him on a quest of epic proportions. A journey that will rewrite the laws of physics. A battle to save humanity itself.\n\nThis is the tale of a man who had nothing and gave it all up to find his destiny - and a doughnut.\n\nPraise for Tom Holt:\n\n\"Blonde Bombshell is a clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book.\" - Christopher Moore\n\n\"Wacky humour bubbles through the polished narrative . . . Holt doesn't skimp on the flashes of brilliance.\" - SFX\n\nAbout the Author\n\nTom Holt was born in London in 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines. These interests led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialised in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40234175037525,"sku":"9781841497808N","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/6003908b-92a9-4667-98fd-a9b5e9359c71.jpg?v=1660225827","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/doughnut-youspace-book-1","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
