"I was in Dublin City the afternoon of the first death."Seniors. Terrorists. Revolutionaries. It's payback time...To draw attention to their plight, old people start taking their lives. In public. In increasingly inventive ways. Within a month, a nation is being held hostage by its elderly citizens. This is not war. This is a revolution...In this blackly witty satire Dominic Burke tells how his mother, May, came to lead an army of disenfranchised older people as they launched acts of unparalleled terror against a frightened populace. Using ever more inventive methods, they bring the nation to the point of shut-down as they advance their claim for equality, insisting that they will no longer be ignored. “Swift’s A Modest Proposal meets The Bunny Suicides” Phil Patterson, Marjacq*Please note that 'The Elder Terror' is a novella/short novel, as is reflected in the price*
