Limbo

The worlds of fantasy and reality merged in an outstanding first novel of imaginative humour.

The Final Conflict is about to erupt on Hove's bowling green . . .

A diabolical book has spoken of shellfish falling from the sky, and men in skirts on Brighton beach, while a monster, unstuck in time, clatters around the universe . . .

Now the Prophecy has come to pass, and eternal night is over! For the first time in over a thousand years, the sun rises over the battlements of Castle Limbo - and the King realises he's in big trouble. Being one of the few to have read the full text, he realises the awful fate predicted for him should a newborn child survive until its first birthday.

So now the Great Terror is about to commence. And, to add to the King's troubles, his long-banished brothers, the fiendishly cunning Gildroy and the totally hideous Norval, are planning a murderous come-back . . .

Meanwhile, a different type of mayhem is erupting on Brighton seafront . . . where newsagent and fantasy enthusiast Rex Boggs is about to emerge as the unlikely hero in this time of chaos. It all begins with giant garbage-eating clams - and spacewoman Serena Kowalski - plummeting together to earth . . . And otherwise it's just another day of fun at the seaside.
