Hell hath no fury for Mike Rocks. He's fireproof; an anomaly caused by a slip-up in afterlife bureaucracy. Lucifer bundles him off as an embarrassing problem with a mission to introduce Satanism to Northern Ireland. And while he's at it, Mike can exact revenge on the men who took his life.FIREPROOF is equal parts crime fiction, dark urban fantasy and black comedy. For fans of Colin Bateman, Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski."scintillating, hilarious, surreal … a total blast" Ken Bruen, author of HEADSTONEFROM THE AUTHOR"I always claimed to love Belfast, and most of the time, I did. But relationships can be tumultuous and in the end I parted ways with the wee city. FIREPROOF is our illegitimate lovechild. The weird one dressed in black, experimenting with eyeliner and Ouija boards. While I had fun in the writing of this outlandish and irreverent take on religion, morality and revenge, there’s a jag or two in the humour. Expect violence, vengeance and offbeat philosophy. FIREPROOF is a snapshot of the end ofmy affair with Belfast. Now I’m settled down in a nice seaside town you wouldn’t be afraid to introduce to your mother, but I’ll always remember those wild Belfast nights with a wicked grin on my face."PRAISE FOR WEE ROCKETS"The Wire? This is Barbed Wire. A cheeky slice of urban noir, a drink-soaked, drug-addled journey into the violent underbelly of one of Europe’s most notorious ghettos, Wee Rockets makes The Outsiders look like the Teletubbies"– Colin Bateman“Gerard Brennan stands apart from the Irish crime fiction crowd with a novel rooted in the reality of today’s Belfast. The author’s prose speaks with a rare authenticity about the pain of growing up in a fractured society, shot through with a black humour that can only come from the streets. Wee Rockets is urban crime fiction for the 21st century, and Brennan is a unique voice among contemporary Irish writers.” – Stuart Neville"In WEE ROCKETS Gerard Brennan has written a fast-paced, exciting story of West Belfast gang culture; brimming with violence, authentic street dialogue and surprising black humour. This is a great debut novel. Brennan takes us into the heart of Belfast’s chav underclass, in a story that lies somewhere in the intersection between THE WARRIORS, Colin Bateman and Guy Ritchie. This is the first in what undoubtedly will be a stellar literary career."– Adrian McKinty"Brennan impressed me hugely with his debut novella The Point, and Wee Rockets has cemented my opinion that he belongs among the top rank of Northern Irish crime writers." – Loitering With Intent"So assured and mature you’d think this was his eight or ninth book, not one of his first." – Spinetingler Magazine"This is a tremendous book and I urge you to read it." – I Meant To Read ThatABOUT THE AUTHORGerard Brennan is the author of two novels, WEE ROCKETS and FIREPROOF, a novella, THE POINT, and co-editor of REQUIEMS FOR THE DEPARTED, a collection of crime fiction based on Irish myths.
