The first monograph examining the implied metaphysics of the quest
for the historical Jesus. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to
historical Jesus research and making a significant, original
contribution to the field.
It is some ninety days since the World was gripped by an outbreak
of zombies; but in Britain they seem to have the problem solved. In
the early days there was an awful lot of decapitation going on; but
now the Government has introduced a wonderful drug therapy and
treatment programme that has worked so well that the zombies are
about to be reintroduced into society. But you shouldn't call them
zombies anymore; they are Transient Incognizant Mortality
Sufferers; and you should not call them Tim either.......on both
counts the Government has spoken. The cost of the drug treatment is
staggeringly high; and faced with paying back a huge debt that the
NHS should not have to shoulder each and every Tim the length and
breadth of the country are put to work in the newly reopened
British collieries; which was probably why the Government embarked
upon an ambitious coal-fired power station building scheme a while
back; so that the UK would no longer be at the mercy of the French
energy suppliers and the Russian coal oligarchs. But in west Wales
something goes horribly wrong. A cave-in at Garden Pit means that
the miner Tims overshoot their drugs threshold and they revert back
to their former zombie selves........and when they eventually dig
themselves out things start to turn very messy.
Following a particularly nasty holiday experience when he was but a
child, the now fully grown, bitter and twisted master criminal and
terrorist Number One plans a horrific attack on south
Pembrokeshire; his perfectly formed plans hopefully culminating in
an explosion so fierce that no living thing within a thirty mile
radius would survive thanks to the massive fireball that would suck
all of the available oxygen out of the air. To make things worse
his plan actually works. There are a few hardy survivors as always
happens in any holocaust scenario, even a localised one; all of
them electing to set out on a walking expedition to Carmarthen and
points east; lands they dearly hope have escaped the terrorist
attack. But the after effects of the fireball are not the only
thing that the survivors have to worry about. Disturbing new
subcultures dressed entirely in leather, cavorting around the
countryside on motorcycles converted to run on waste vegetable oil;
bald aliens who might or might not be peace loving vegetarians and
a heavily armed Polish contingent conspire to make matters much
worse.
