As These Things Do

A well-researched story that runs through an existentially real drama as two lovers accidentally generate the end of civilisation. No more, no less. The chapters of this moving story take the reader across the world, from the towering snow-capped peaks of the Andes and Rocky Mountains to the genteel civilisation of the ancient University of Oxford in the English rural countryside. Academia mixes with research and big business as one drama leads to the next and the next. The world's ecosystem collapses with geological upheavals and sea level rises of thousands of metres. Uniquely, the final two chapters offer two opposing endings: catastrophe on the one hand and knife-edge recovery on the other. Read both and decide which you like best. You will not have had this chance before. What is certain is that you will enjoy this book and find your emotional strings pulled while enjoying a helping of excellent English humour at times.
