''The Dead Republic: A Novel'' is a 2010 novel by Irish author Roddy Doyle which concluded ''The Last Roundup'' trilogy. The first book in the trilogy was ''A Star Called Henry (1999)'', and the second was ''Oh, Play That Thing! (2004)''. ==Plot== An aging Henry Smart is attempting to cement his reputation. John Ford plans a movie based on Henry's life, but Henry eventually realizes the film that Ford has planned will reduce his story to sentiment. Henry plans to kill Ford, but his callousness has faded, and he drifts into the Dublin suburbs, where he meets a respectable widow who may possibly be his long-disappeared wife. Henry ages in obscurity until the 1970s, when he is caught up in the 1974 Dublin car bombings and the Provisional IRA uses a distorted version of Henry's story as a public relations ploy.
