No one is better placed to write an of-the-moment political thriller than Stanley Johnson, former MEP, passionate environmentalist, journalist and author.

The sweeping satirical narrative of KOMP OMAT follows the intertwined fortunes of Edward Barnard, Cabinet Minister and leader of the Leave campaign, British Prime Minister Jeremy Hartley, fighting a referendum he thought couldn’t be lost, and brash showman Ronald Craig, the unlikely US Presidential candidate.
