The James Lovegrove Collection, Volume One: Days and United Kingdom
From Shelf: Books
The first James Lovegrove Collection charts the course of Britain's future n two novels: Days, about a vast megastore, kilometres wide, where anything can be had... for a price; and Untied Kingdom, a bleak future of a country disintegrating under its own hubris and pride.
Days
Nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award
Days is a gigastore the size of a small city, whose security are licensed to kill and whose seven owners brood in the penthouse, far removed from the desperate scramble of consumerism. But at what price commerce? Security man Frank has lost his reflection, Books are entering a localised war with Computers, and there is a riot in Third World Instruments. Time for another flash sale...
UNTIED KINGDOM
Nominated for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award
When the village of Downbourne is raided and schoolmaster Fen Morris's wife Moira is snatched, there are no authorities to turn to. In the absence of its government - in exile in the Caribbean following the 'Unlucky Gamble' - and subject to random bombings and leaflet drops, the UK is lawless and falling apart. Their marriage was a disaster, but Fen sets out to recover her anyway; but does she even want rescuing?
