26th August 2020 To no-one's surprise I did not make it on to the 'Not the Booker' shortlist. I can now say: 'Not only will I not ever win a Booker, I will not win a Not the Booker.' Interestingly, if I ever DID win a Not the Booker, I could say: 'Notwithstanding my comment about not winning a Not the Booker, it seems I have not not won a Not the Booker after all.' Ah well.

27th July 2020 Starred Review from Publisher's Weekly

24th July 2020 Uploaded to Youtube:Jasper answers 'Why a rabbit?'

24th July 2020 Another missed opportunity for a good pun: On page 138 when it mentions the trombonist having a brain haemorrhage during his solo, this could be a case of "Deep Brain Trombosis" . Doh. (Thank you Alan Stott for this one, and yes indeed, I will write more about wombats. Somehow.)

30th July 2020 Upgrade your version of TCR V1.0 to the all new V1.1.
It's very simple to do. Just find the following lines and then, with a fineliner, make the changes. You can then download the UPGRADE STICKER and paste it into the front of your copy. (My thanks to the TCR Eagle-eyed typo spotters: Adrian Bleese, David Richardson, Richard Humm, Helen Perry and Graeme Hatton) Here we go:
Page 13: "an impervious to cold" should read "and impervious to cold"
Page 33: Where it says "Flemming was already there when he walked in the room." change to read: "Flemming was already there when we walked in the room."
Page 54: "and had him released him" - replace with: "and had released him".
Page 74: for 'precedence', read 'precedent'.
Page 87: as 'Fox v. Rabbit' was a High Court decision, not Statute Law, it cannot be 'repealed'. So where it says: 'would result in a repealing of Fox v. Rabbit.' change to read: 'would result in a reversal of Fox v. Rabbit.' '
Page 94: add 'attempt' after 'poised to'
Page 103: Where it says: 'used as a form of bacterial pest control before the Event' change to: 'used as a form of viral pest control before the Event' Myxomatosis is a virus, not a bacterium. My thanks to Helen Perry for this one.
Page 133: 'A bright eyed Wetstock'. No, it's 'Petstock', not an amphibious variety not mentioned before.
Page 225: "our comments might have taken been out of context" unless Victor was at that point impersonating Yoda, I think it's not what you intended. NO indeed, it wasn't. Replace with: "our comments might have been taken out of context"
Page 291: Doc says "Your shape and walk give me only a 42% cenrtainty". Spellcheck.
Page 304: Where it says: 'elephantine governance that is currently transforming Africa.' change to read: 'elephantine governance that is currently transforming East Africa.' (Using 'Africa' as a generic term for a large, culturally and politically diverse collection of nations is totally wrong. Elephants don't live in Africa, they live in a several nations on the continent of Africa.)

11th June 2020 I suddenly realised that I should have made a reference in the book to 'The Warren Commision'. An opportunity missed. Ah well.
