<h4><em>A decommissioned French warship no one wants, a man struggling to find reasons to live, and a hapless UK government that is always three steps behind... </em><br></h4><p>Max Henderson, wealthy and respected owner of Portsmouth''s largest shipyard, seems to be cracking up. Drunk and dishevelled, Max is helped off a bridge by police officers in an apparent suicide attempt. And then, in what would seem an act of madness, Max takes personal possession of <em>Jeanne d''Arc</em>, a 42,500-ton decommissioned French aircraft carrier. Max''s employees are stunned, the UK government is incensed, the French don''t want anything to do with it and a series of events are put in motion which no one may be able to stop.<br></p><p>Compelling, insightful and hilarious... Here is a story steeped in the absurd and yet strangely familiar to anyone who has stood at the edge of human experience.<br></p><p><br></p>
