NEW REVISED EDITION FOR 2025

Cornelius Murphy, big-haired tall boy and Stuff of Epics, has a plan. That with the aid of a reinvented ocarina, he and his best friend Tuppe enter London's Forbidden Zones (areas cunningly hidden from us through the A-Z street directory and a conspiracy of black cab drivers) and liberate the countless billions of pounds worth of booty that lies therein.

And while doing so, rescue Hugo Rune, self-styled Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived, guru to gurus and father to Cornelius Murphy.

But Hugo Rune has plans of his own. Overthrow the Dark Forces within the Forbidden Zones, a lost race of fairy folk, ruled over by an evil king, and kidnap Her Majesty the Queen (God bless her) during a performance of the world's greatest rock band, Gandhi's Hairdryer.

Inspectre Hovis of Scotland Yard has a most definite plan. Arrest Hugo Rune for his crimes against Chinese noodle parlours and a list of offences far too long to list.

What Cornelius and Tuppe discover when they raid the lost car park of the "Crimson King" will excite and amaze and have you going "I suspected something like that myself, but no-one would ever believe me."

First published over thirty years ago, RAIDERS OF THE LOST CAR PARK is a classic of Far Fetched Fiction, a genre created by author Robert Rankin in hopes of having his own shelf in bookstores. Now, this second novel in the Cornelius Murphy Trilogy has been reimagined and repackaged for 2025 by Hooded Man Media and Far-Fetched Books.

If you enjoy the works of Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, and Terry Pratchett, then don't miss out on RAIDERS OF THE LOST CAR PARK and the wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and grab your copy now before the price changes!
