Synopsis

Book by Mark Jan

Quatrième de couverture

'Brimming with ideas . . . a book with great ambition'

A violent storm sweeps across Parizo beach and unveils a human skull beneath the sands. It has much to reveal about the past . . .

In the year 2255, the British Isles have altered beyond recognition. The world's climate has changed and rising seas have engulfed the east of the islands. In what is left of the land, an Aboriginal community, the Inglish, cling to an archaic way of life. They claim the skull as one of their own.

Merrick, a young graduate in the 'lost' science of archaeology, finds that his interest in the remains draws him into a cultural struggle he doesn't understand. His claustrophobic involvement with the Inglish leads him to become a willing guinea pig in a bizarre and painful experiment in evolution.

This is a wild and special tale that raises huge questions about identity, ethnicity and what is lost and gained by technological progress. Jan Mark has conjured a future that seems both wonderfully strange and yet utterly relevant to today.
