Magical things happen when pushing yourself beyond 3/4trs the speed of light - dreams come true, life takes on new purpose, all ills are cured, planets are saved. When the destiny of a zillion lives are thrust into your hands you have two choices; 'man'-up or crumble in a heap. Shug was never much for crumbling. The adventure that lay ahead would be like all the others he's had - terrifying when you're having them, electrifying when reminiscing. But, would he get the chance to look back on this one? None of the odds are on his side. With just under a week to save his entire nation from extinction, the only glimmer of hope lies with Magdalena Magdolin, Nessie, and the Edenite Collider. Can they fulfil his hope? As always... time will tell. About the Author: Steve Cooper was born in 1962 on St Andrew's day in Glasgow.
