Synopsis

George MacDonald has spent a lifetime mending things.

So waking up alone on a starship the size of a city doesn't really change much.

There are robots that need repairing. Machines older than civilisation itself. An overly literal artificial intelligence. A tiny mechanical companion who insists on helping whether George likes it or not.

As one impossible repair leads to another, George slowly becomes part of a family he never expected to find.

Warm, witty and deeply human, The Biggest Bodge is an unforgettable tale of friendship, second chances and the quiet heroism of an ordinary person doing extraordinary jobs.

Because sometimes the person best qualified to save the future ...
is simply the one who knows how to mend what's broken.

À propos de l'auteur

Author-Poet-Versifier. Born in Harlesden on the outskirts of London in 1943, Peter Barns grew up with the scenic backdrop of Regent's Park. After attending a secondary modern school, Peter embarked on a varied career path before finding his footing in the construction industry. As an electrician, he earned a City & Guilds qualification and spent two decades working on building sites. Peter's life journey has been marked by rich personal experiences, including the joy of being a father to two, a grandfather to five, and a great-grandfather to two. In the late 1980s, he sought a quieter life in the Highlands of Scotland, where he transitioned into counselling, helping individuals with alcohol and drug issues, and later managing a charitable organisation that repurposed computers for community use. Now retired, Peter channels his creativity into writing.
