Description

Victor has been invited to spend a month's holiday aboard William's luxury motor yacht along with a group of twenty-somethings, Mike, Anna, Danii and Carmen. On the return voyage they experience a sudden freak storm and meteor shower. They head for sanctuary on the Scilly Isles where the situation becomes more mysterious. Unable to discover what has happened, the group sail to the mainland, unaware that they are about to enter an altered world. William had been prepared for things to be different anyway. The taxman was about to seize his father's estate after he'd disappeared two years earlier whilst sailing in the Bermuda Triangle. However, in the aftermath, William gets a reprieve and invites everyone to stay at Poffington Hall in Oxfordshire until things get back to normal. The men begin to take advantage of their new situation. Victor embarks on a plan to get himself a girl, something he failed to do on the holiday and Mike, who is a scientist, restarts work on his pet project, the Suspended Animation Ray. William begins a quest to destroy all the nasty paperwork relating to Poffington and goes to great lengths to expand his wine collection. Set in mid 21st century, this is a comic, post-apocalyptic adventure with an original and quirky plot. The story is character driven with our hero, the long suffering Victor, keeping us amused with his perspective of events as they unfold. After surviving a whole year, the group celebrates with a big party. Gina, the sexy French girl, arranges a stage show for their entertainment. Playing his part, Mike offers a demonstration of his SAR, which unwittingly brings us to the amazing finale, setting the scene for the sci-fi sequel, Neverness.
