  • Summary

  • From the Author of How to Disappear Completely: 1999 Aston Somerfield, casual smoker and part-time alcoholic, has come to London to find himself. He knows who he's looking for, he's seen him on the cover of the NME. Drawn across oceans by fame and fate, Aston is keeping his diary empty to make sure he's available. Won't commit to anything until it's everything. London, however, has other ideas. When a virtual stranger calls Aston a few hours before his death, fate catches up with him, derailing his barely-made plans. Amid a hundred boozy evenings and romantic deadends, a mystery unfurls. Equally assisted and hindered by tremulous accountant Tom Hensley and dedicated loafer Steven Black, Aston uncovers a different London, one of murder, ghosts, dangerous emails and the second big bang. As chaotic and random as the city it inhabits, Electricity gradually evolves into a mystery bigger than the universe itself. Being of a somewhat useless persuasion, Aston does his best to ignore it.

    In Brighton with little more than a hired car and a hangover, Aston has some hard questions to answer. For one thing, there's the matter of the dead man wanting to chat about things he can't believe, let alone understand. For another, there's the impending destruction of the solar system. All hell breaks loose in this, the final chapter of 'Electricity', a Podcasted Novel by Myke Bartlett.
