Synopsis

Britain has evolved into a police state in which the freedoms of the past have disappeared. The three principal characters (Percy, Henry, Frank) interact in a context of burgeoning dehumanisation. Percy falls victim to the inhuman and obsessive system that now prevails and his demise awakens in his companions a keener sense of the significance of his loss, and Henry’s death leaves Frank friendless. Hope is temporarily rekindled by Dr Markus Shelby, but he himself is soon to disappear in the penal archipelago that has developed in a society governed by fear and suppression. Integrity and humanity have been sacrificed to political correctness; Christianity is met with indifference, at best, hostility, at worst. Other Faiths emerge as dominant and unimpeachable, altering even the architectural landscape. The last, nameless, character emerges as the narrator, and his reflections suggest a desire to rekindle the light that has been lost in the darkness of the times.
