Probably one of the bawdiest and most scathing lampoons of science fiction and big business ever written.
Just when he thought he was dead and could have some time off, Tom is catapulted into leading a business in a chaotic world where bureaucracy and process have taken over from all logic and good sense. Everything is in place to perpetuate an organisational structure, but nobody knows what his company actually does, to rake in its profits. Tom's biggest challenge is to sort that out.
Add into this multiple attempts on his life as people try to stop him, his quest to find true love (again), an investigation into a murder without a victim, the first rule of being a private investigator, and the impending total collapse of four universes, and we have a tangled knot that even Alexander the Great would have trouble cutting through.
Tom has to do something, otherwise it will be the end of everything he knows, and quite a few bits he doesn't.
We have here not beep-beep, fire main phasors, science fiction (well, not much), but a lusty romp through everything wrong with business and life today
Adults only, and only those who are not easily offended... and managers everywhere.

Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.

For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.
'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.
For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it.
