"Unsinkable Rubber Ducks" is a phrase coined by James Randi, the famous skeptic and paranormal debunker. It describes "people who are determined to go on believing in woo no matter how much evidence to the contrary you present them with."

"In a media-saturated age, you can really start to resent the amount of information you absorb, despite your steadfast disinterest, about certain utterly unworthy subjects. It's like the data equivalent of secondary smoke inhalation."

Time for more Brookmyre! The book, which is the "Winner of the 2007 Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Award for Writing" is inscribed "For James Randi and Richard Dawkins". Hmm, I wonder what themes will be explored in this one?

I'd like to read this, but I haven't read any Brookmyre before...should I start with something else?

This is the fifth (and last) book to feature the same protagonist, Jack Parlabane. The first one is Quite Ugly One Morning. It isn't the best of the lot, but it's pretty good.I think they would all stand alone fairly well, but I'd recommend starting with the first one, if possible.
Oh very well. :) I guess it works out for the best, since my library only has a couple Brookmyres available. Fortunately one is Quite Ugly.
