What if the world's most powerful person was the last person anyone would suspect?
Charlie Darnell is nobody special. He eats the same turkey sandwich every day, measures his cat's food with scientific precision, and has worked the same desk job for seven years without anyone remembering his name. His life is a masterpiece of routine-predictable, forgettable, and perfectly beige.
Then he wins a trip to New Orleans he never entered. And everything changes.
Swept into a whirlwind Mardi Gras adventure featuring conspiracy-obsessed coworkers, airboat chases through Louisiana bayous, and a mysterious organization that seems to know everything about him, Charlie discovers that his ordinary life has been anything but. Behind the floats and festivities lies a secret so vast it could only be trusted to someone the world would never notice.
A Conspiracy of One is a hilarious and heartwarming adventure that asks: What if the fate of humanity rested in the hands of the most average man alive? Perfect for fans of Being There, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and anyone who's ever felt invisible in a crowd.
From the beige cubicles of Middle America to the vibrant chaos of the Big Easy, Charlie Darnell is about to learn that being nobody might make you the perfect somebody.
