When Lucas Beardsley
blundered into the Qliphothic Forces of the Polyverse, Britain's
reality-consensus was drastically disrupted. Everyday causality was
never quite the same again... Now Londoners escape into the
virtual-reality thrills of Pleasure Centres plc, while Borderland
villages embrace an eclectic neo-paganism. Meanwhile Fundamentalist
militias - Mo-Boys and Heavy Shepherds - battle for overall control. In
the Borderlands, Lucas works desperate magicks to win back his ex-lover
Carla. In London traumatised ex-MOD computer wizard Dr Crowe seeks work
with Pleasure Centres - which also employs Carla as erotica producer and Borderlands refugee Vivienne, who will be re-invented as an
'artiste'... For Lombard, CEO of Pleasure Centres, has a manic plan to
restore the status quo by using Crowe's cyber-skills to manipulate the
ancient forces of the Borderlands. However, no-one has reckoned with the emergence of rogue cyber-daemons - the Quantum Brothers - or the
horrors of the Feast of Smoke.
This first volume of Paul Green's new
fiction sequence ends with a bizarre and terrifying climax that defines
the world of the forthcoming sequel - BENEATH THE PLEASURE ZONES - The
Polyverse...
Paul Green's other work includes a novel The Qliphoth,
poetry collections The Gestaltbunker and A Beginner's Guide to Radial
City as well as plays for radio or stage like The Dream Laboratory,
Ritual of the Stifling Air, The Mouthpiece, The Voice Collection and
Babalon, his evocation of Thelemite rocket scientist Jack Parsons.
