Nobody really realised how important the electricity was until it was gone.   That is a fact Spark Thames and her sister, Shine, know only too well. They spend their every day turning the Grindstone – a huge generator that is the humans' only means of power. Dedicated to protecting her sister, Spark is unambitious – not someone who would be regarded as ‘special’.   But someone, somewhere, sees something in Spark. And then her life is thrown into another direction – a path that might show the way forward for all of them. Only Spark is the one who can make this happen – but as things progress and the strange regime is uncovered, she may find that the price is too high even for her to pay.

So much for an easy way to go. After thirty nine long years, each squandered day chained inexorably and uneventfully to the next, this is how it ends. How appropriate. Blinking back tears, Joanna shakes out another handful of pills into the palm of her hand... Environmental catastrophe, dismissed by many as myth or propaganda, is now an impending reality. Tides are rising and storms are brewing. Meanwhile, in a small-town suburban home, a small family is fraying at the seams, and on the brink of a collapse of their own. Following the suicide of his wife and imprisoned by grief, Arnold witnesses the inexorable downwards spiral of his neighbourhood on television, from the confines of his living room. Fifty years on, his son Noah is thrust into a dense, compact Britain he hardly recognizes, adrift in a society in the throes of transformation. Years later, the experiment falters and Nature threatens to take over entirely. Noah’s daughter Eve faces unimaginable consequences and her will to survive is tested to its limits... THE FALL OF MAN begins in the Britain of today. Three successive generations struggle to exist in a future rife with change. Their story chronicles a series of cataclysmic, global events, from the perspective of an all-too-human family. Two new chapters to be added each week...
