A tool of fate, he sticks his fingers in the electric socket of life and wonders about suffering and loss, flirting dangerously with a melancholic state… Is his obsession with numbers the result of a robotic condition, metal under the skin, or a paranoiac attempt to decipher the intricacies of a more mundane and human predicament?

"There isn't magic or mystery to our lives. No supernatural logic, no special accidents, no meant to be. There is cause and then there is effect, and when these coincide there is synchronicity. That's all."
A bleakly hilarious look at a generation who don't believe they can make a difference any more, Synchronicity is an existential road novel set in an alternative England of the early 21st century. Carter and Sullivan, two men on the cusp of their thirties, undertake a trip around their home country that becomes a journey into the landscape of their past. The narrative moves from comic opening to darkly nihilistic climax, taking in satire, romance and horror en route. The insecure and acquiescent Carter, through whom the story is told, emerges as very different from his charismatic and fearless best friend Sullivan. Soon the dynamic between the pair is altering, moving from exulted freedom to psychosis and amorality, as the story approaches its nightmarish denouement.
A full-length sci-fi novel about an experiment with a teleport system that goes wrong, causing the hero to delve into the hidden world of the occult to rescue his partner.
