If you thought you knew everything there was to know about the humble sprout, think again. Robert Rankin's "The Sprouts of Wrath" sees the return of our clueless champions Jim and John, who this time confront a vegetable conspiracy of galactic proportions. When sprouts start mutating and exhibiting alarming intelligence, it becomes clear that Brentford is again the ground zero for something peculiar.
The book is like a mash-up of science fiction, satire, and British pub culture that would make any SFcrowsnest reader wonder if they've had one too many. If you ever wondered how Rankin would deal with genetically engineered vegetables, then this is your answer—a storyline as twisted as the DNA of those pesky sprouts.
