The Inconstancy of the Speed of Light - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Nic Saxby, a dejected young man, his career hopes shattered, disappears one summer’s night during a drunken walk home. Seven years later he reappears, changed, weak, deranged; tormented by the memories of a distant world and of someone, the Woman, who continues to live in his mind. After prolonged treatment and recuperation, he is persuaded to tell his story.
We follow Nic's voyage to the stars, to a utopia of harmony and equality and free love. However, the more he finds out about their society the more he is shocked and horrified at how the people he lives with, works with, and those he loves, have achieved their seemingly perfect world.
How will an inhabitant from a violent and backward world such as Earth exist in this highly advanced civilisation? We share his journey, comically and satirically, from bewilderment through to ecstasy, and agonisingly, despairingly, we live through his struggle to remain with the friends and the Woman he loves.
This novel dares you to think differently.
