| Synopsis: |
Councillor Gerald Radley is dissatisfied with his duties as leader of Wirral Council, and yearns to be a great man. So he seizes the opportunity to take Wirral out of the United Kingdom, and engineers an artificial war with Normandy as a means of justifying his Draconian social policies. However, events rapidly spiral out of control, and the people of Wirral find themselves embroiled in an increasingly bitter and bloody conflict. While Radley and his cronies deliberate over parking permits and rationing, erstwhile school-teacher Robert Taylor and his comrades in the Wirral Regiment fight a desperate battle for survival across the landscape of the peninsular...This satirical novel juxtaposes the grim reality of modern warfare with the frequently farcical world of modern bureaucracy, in a cynical and thought-provoking The author lives on the Wirral with his wife and children. His interests include global exploration, high-altitude mountaineering and scuba-diving, but he cannot afford to do any of these, so hopes his debut novel sells well. Until then, he will have to make do with hill-walking and jogging. |
