"If you would be so kind as to remind me why we're here?"

"'Cause this is our best shot at survival."

"And if we miss the shot?"

"Well then we're both screwed, aren't we?"

It's 2020, and the world is teetering on the edge of a third global war. With the political face in shambles, leaders of nations across the world are being assassinated by a team known only as 'S.A.V.I.O.U.R' or, as British Intelligence likes to call them, 'the wankers who are causing more trouble than Brexit ever did.' 

That's where Sebastian Morozov comes in. Cornered one day after his political History class at Edinburgh university, by a fire obsessed dude called Lin who won't tell him anything except how much he's going to get paid, Sebastian stupidly agrees to help investigate the murders, and try to put a stop to them. 

With society on the brink of World War Three, Sebastian must battle against death, love, debt and a weapon that could cause humanity's extinction once and for all.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
