Democracy has been read its last rites and the political machine has run wildly and dangerously off course. Not that anybody raises an eyebrow on the sun, beer and condom drenched beaches of Magaluf - nobody aside from the mysterious, older than your average holiday rep, Sam, who has chosen the island as the base to kick off his terrifying, apocalyptic plot. As the action moves from the island better titled Little England than Majorca to the campus of the University of Liverpool in England proper, only two students can stop him. But how? It's hard enough to save the world as it is, without being over your overdraft and armed with only a Young Person's Railcard that's three weeks past its expiry date. Me and My Shadow - a novel about democracy, debt, depression, and the devastation and destruction of the United Kingdom.
