Following the success of his first novel Dahab Chris Bean in this
second book allows his basic geological training to give
credibility to a story of the catastrophic events that overwhelm
the planet in 2050. His passion and thrill for adventure combined
with a much-travelled life while pursuing his profession as a
fisherman and fisheries consultant has given him an insight into
situations both harsh and beautiful. In this novel he makes no
concessions while depicting the scene of utter desperation in which
the main characters find themselves. Using love and hope together
as he has done in his own life he shows how to turn around a
situation of almost nothing into a viable future. Married and with
grown up children and young grandchildren he lives on the Lizard
Peninsular in Cornwall. Apart from his fishing activities he is an
avid painter and runner in the local Hash House Harriers.
The year is 1973 and changes are afoot in Great Yarmouth and
Brokencliff-on-Sea as the New Year comes in with bang! Return to a
simpler time when family holidays at the seaside were still fun and
electronic devices had never been heard of. The only sound that was
heard was the gentle lapping of the waves, the gulls circling
above, and the trot of the horse's hooves along the promenade and
music from the funfairs.
