The novel “The Showstoppers” by Jonathan Cooper was published for the first time in 2016.

Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart has a lot to think about, and that certainly doesn’t include a new TV show. He would never have said that his military career would include a level of bureaucracy like the one he has been facing lately and he hopes changes for the better will come soon. When he meets a former comrade who works as a stuntman for television and talks to him about strange events connected to actor Aubrey Mondegreene, the issue seems a distraction, but he and Anne Travers realize that something strange is indeed happening.

Harold Chorley is trying to understand why he has completely forgotten what happened to him over the course of many days and is convinced that Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is behind his problem. When he tries to get information, he instead ends up embroiled in a strange conspiracy story.
