Book description
Peter Staines thinks God made rather a ham-fisted job of
constructing the world, trying to shove millions of years' worth of
work into just six days. Typical cowboy builder. And as a carpet
salesman with over twenty years in the trade, he feels he's more than
qualifies to comment.
So Peter's come up with some improvements
-- conveyor belts along the high street, points for good deeds, gender
choice, holographic memory projection, identity swaps, no death or
defecation and , oh, no golf. Shame his own tidy little world is
unravelling. You know, the usual stuff: murder, prostitution,
gambling, infidelity, death and the Annual Carpet and Floor Covering
Exhibition to survive.
Ultimately Peter is led to question
everything he thought he knew, believed in and understood. But, then
maybe, just maybe, life isn't that bad after all.
Giles Ward's real job is creative director of his own advertising
agency in Devon. He is a qualified graphic designer, accomplished artist
and has written for pleasure since the age of ten. He is married with
two young sons and is currently working on his next novel.
