There are unsuspected solutions to life's conundrums, from the mundane to extraordinary, some reassuring, others terrifying.Existence has its own odd way of balancing out options for the deserving and undeserving, and extraordinary alternatives are just an unguarded glance away.

The evidence of a fabulous ancient past is about to be lost forever with the death of an enigmatic recluse. The last people to witness this mysterious civilisation's power were blown up by an explosion that baffled and alarmed the authorities who attempted to commit its existence to oblivion. Dr Duncan Parfait is charismatic, a little shambolic, and totally convinced that there could be no intelligent culture pre-dating the present one. The unequivocal proof that there was sets his preconceptions and world on its head. Without giving a thought to it being too true to be good, he sets out to excavate submerged cities and write a book which contradicts all those assumptions made by historians and archaeologists that went before.

The bonds people forge can be glorious, everlasting and filled with devotion. All too often they are problematic and dogged by regrets. Many more are not what they seem. Devotion to a lost partner is one thing, devotion to the long dead quite another, and an orang-utan with a sweet tooth can be more appreciative than the family everything has been sacrificed for.Dodo Books
