Book ID/图书代码： 10010006B07418
English Summary/英文概要： Somewhere over the rainbow and just off the Yellow Brick Road stands Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town. And things are not going well for the citys inhabitants. There have been outbreaks of STC - Spontaneous Toy Combustion - and there are strange signs and portents in the Heavens. Preachers of Toy Citys many religions are predicting that the End Times are approaching and that a Toy City Apocalypse will soon come to pass. But can this possibly be true, or is there a simple explanation - an alien invasion, for instance. With the body count rising and the forces of law and order baffled, it is the time for a hero to step forward and attempt to save the day. Well, two heroes actually, Eddie Bear, Toy City Private Eye and his loyal sidekick, Jack: our courageous twosome are about to face their biggest challenge yet, to save not only toykind, but the world of mankind too. Which should keep them out of the pub for a while.

About the Author/作者介绍： Robert Fleming Rankin 1949年生於倫敦，1970年開始投入寫作，為英國著名的幽默小說家。Rankin在1997年與2006年，分別以The Brentford Chainstore Massacre及The Brightonomicon獲英國奇幻文學協會最佳小說獎提名(British Fantasy Society Best Novel)。2003年，更以The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse奪得英國權威科幻期刊《SFX雜誌》的最佳小說獎。
他的小說背景大多設在倫敦市郊Brentford，情節也多與古老的惡魔或外星人的陰謀有關。由於Rankin筆下的人物，夾雜著科幻、神秘、城市傳說的驚悚等多重特質，他自稱自己的寫作風格為Far Fetched Fiction(有趣卻又帶有些許黑暗面的小說)，不但使人難以傳統的文類來定義他的小說，更讓他成為暢銷作家。
Robert Fleming Rankin (born July 27, 1949) is a prolific British humorous novelist. Born in Parsons Green, London, he started writing in the late 1970s, and first entered the bestsellers lists with Snuff Fiction in 1999. His books are a mix of science fiction, fantasy, the occult, urban legends, running gags, metafiction, steampunk and outrageous characters. According to the (largely fictional) biography printed in some Corgi editions of his books, Rankin refers to his style as ’Far Fetched Fiction’ in the hope that bookshops will let him have a section to himself. Many of Rankin’s books are bestsellers. Most of Rankin’s books are set in Brentford, a suburb of London where the author grew up, and which, in his novels, is usually infested with ancient evil and/or alien conspiracies.
