The world didn't end in 2000.
It panicked instead.
And that was all Danny Dollars' fault.
Dead Set Legend Too - The Lie That Broke the World is a high-velocity rock 'n' roll crime comedy set against the final, unhinged countdown to the year 2000 - when the world was convinced civilisation might collapse at midnight.
At the centre of the chaos is Danny Dollars: loud, criminally confident, and smart enough to be dangerous - but not smart enough to stop talking.
When a lie meant to save his own skin spirals into full-scale Y2K hysteria, Danny and The Big Stu Easy find themselves riding a wave of global panic they no longer control. Governments scramble. Systems buckle. Everyone freaks out.
And the Oxymoronz?
They profit, panic, argue, escalate - and make everything worse.
This book delivers:
* A relentless countdown to midnight
* Global hysteria triggered by pure ego
* Rock bands, criminals, motorbikes, and bad ideas
* Blunt, unapologetic Australian humour
* Satire that punches power, panic, and masculinity equally hard
Danny Dollars never meant to hijack history.
He just lied too well - and refused to back down.
If you like:
* Crime comedies with real momentum
* Satire rooted in ego, money, and chaos
* Anti-heroes who escalate instead of learning
* Stories where stupidity has consequences
Then this is your book.
Loosely inspired by true events.
Heavily distorted by confidence.
The lie was small.
The fallout was global.
