It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they’re not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un … Soon Allan and Julius are at the centre of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Things are about to get very complicated … Praise for The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared ‘Arguably the biggest word-of-mouth literary sensation of the decade’ Independant THE SEQUEL TO JONAS JONASSON’S INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED ‘Imaginative, laugh-out-loud … a brilliant satire on the foibles of mankind’ Telegraph ‘[A] silly and wonderful novel. [The scenes] will just keep readers amused almost non-stop ... A great cure for the blues, especially for anyone who might feel bad about growing older’ Kirkus Reviews ‘A mordantly funny and loopily freewheeling debut novel about ageing disgracefully’ Sunday Times ‘Eccentric, unusual and far-fetched in the best possible way’ Booksellers ‘THE ANTI GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO … JONASSON’S LIGHTHEARTED NOVEL SHOWS THE SOFTER SIDE OF SWEDEN … HILARIOUS’ — MARIE CLAIRE
