About the book: 2024 / Joe Spork fixes his watch. He tries to forget about the legacy of his father, one of the most powerful gangsters in London, and lead a quiet, inconspicuous life. Edie Banister was a spy in Her Majesty's Service long ago, but she grew old and retired. Everything goes as usual until Joe fixes a completely unusual winding mechanism and thereby starts the Doomsday machine, invented back in the 1950s. Sinister monks who idolize John Ruskin, psychopathic killers, mad geniuses and real supervillains appear in his once peaceful life. In addition, he soon realizes that all intelligent life in the Universe is in danger. And now Joe must help Edie complete the mission she left many years ago, as well as gain courage, remember her parent's legacy and, if possible, save the world. But it won't be easy.
