Read Oddjobs Storyline:

It’s the end of the world as we know it, but someone still needs to do the paperwork.
Incomprehensible horrors from beyond are going to devour our world but that’s no excuse to get all emotional about it. Morag Murray works for the secret government organisation responsible for making sure the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible.
In her first week on the job, Morag has to hunt down a man-eating starfish, solve a supernatural murder and, if she’s got time, prevent her own inevitable death.
The first book in a new comedy series by the creators of ‘Clovenhoof’, Oddjobs is a sideswipe at the world of work and a fantastical adventure featuring amphibian wannabe gangstas, mad old cat ladies, ancient gods, apocalyptic scrabble, fish porn, telepathic curry and, possibly, the end of the world before the weekend. **From the Inside Flap"There are beings, the Venislarn. They are invading our world - have already invaded our world. They will destroy us all. Every living thing on our planet will die in agony.""That's ridiculous.""But true. I work for a government agency - one of many around the world - tasked with managing the Venislarn threat.""You're fighting them.""No. Do pay attention. They will destroy us. This is cold concrete fact.""But?"







"Yes, it is the end of the world. Yes, we are all going to die. But we are British. These things still need doing in an orderly manner and there is certainly no excuse to get all emotional about it."
