When murder is in the air, the MacGuffin Sisters take flight.

Recruited by WI-5, the British Women's Intelligence Service, three thrill-seeking sisters go undercover on the set of the latest Dynamite McQueen adventure film. But beneath the swinging sixties glamour lies danger as they uncover an audacious plot targeting the Queen of England and the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley. With the whole world watching, the stakes could not be higher.

Bookkeeper Reggie, aircraft mechanic Gloria, and cook Loveday race against time to defuse a powder keg of espionage, treachery and show business in the English countryside. From a sinister crime syndicate and secret identities to daredevil dogfights and high-speed chases, every clue pulls the MacGuffins deeper into an incendiary web of intrigue that cuts shockingly close to home.

As dangers escalate, can the sisters save England before it's too late? And before teatime?

Brace yourself for a thrilling ride of action, suspense, unforgettable twists and vivid characters with Martin Butler's The Queens of Kaboom.

Starting from an analysis of practices of participation in contemporary print and other media, the volume opens up a historical perspective, probing the potential of the concept of participatory cultures for the exploration of past forms of collaboration between individual and collective actors (i.e. authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics etc.). In doing so, the volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and medially specific forms and functions as well as on the economic, political and institutional parameters that contributed to the emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious alliances.
