Meltdown Book

Ben Elton, one of Britain's most provocative writers and comedians, brings us Meltdown a satirical look at the current global financial climate. Meltdown follows four rather unlikable university friends: Jimmy, a high-earning city trader who miss judges the market ends up broke in his Notting hill mansion, Henry, a Labour MP who gets in trouble for expenses; Rupert, a bad-mannered fake toff who runs a bank into the ground and takes off with a big payoff and Lizzie, a stunning lifestyle guru who owns a company that sells useless things in beautiful packaging. The credit crunch affects the characters in many different ways, but one thing's for sure...things will never be the same again!Read More

    For amiable City trader Jimmy Corby money was the new Rock n' Roll. His whole life was a party adrenalin charged and cocaine fuelled. If he hadn't met Monica he would probably have ended up either dead or in rehab. But Jimmy was as lucky in love as he was at betting on dodgy derivatives so instead of burning out his star just burned brighter than ever. Rich pampered and successful Jimmy Monica and their friends lived the dream bringing up their children with an army of domestic helps. But then it all came crashing down. And when the global financial crisis hit Jimmy discovers that anyone can handle success. It's how you handle failure that really matters.
