Description
CERCO and PALS
The book is a gentle partly fictional fantasy broadly based on the authors experiences.
The main characters are the Pals Cerco, his dog Bugger, Henry, a tortoise (Highly Efficient Naturally Rational Yggdrasil), Rudie, and the girls Jewel, Opal and Diamante and the Imps (which evolve from Implied statements - take lie out of imply and you get an imp, they are therefore very truthful if a little boisterous) and their adversaries Boney Beet, his Henchums and the Huns (take the truth put of an untruth and you get an Un or colloquially a Hun, they are therefore natural liars.)
The story starts in the north east of England in a place called Assunder Land (Sunderland that lies on the Weary River (River Wear) where the pals form a company called O DEAR (Organised Daydream and Environmental Anything but Realsm Company). The firm is stolen on the stock market by Boney and the Pals. They form a new firm called SEXLESS (Science and Engineering eXtremes Lessens Energy Streams Simply). which specialises in Land Reclamation.
Cerco is invited to Rush Hour (Russia) on an exchange visit. He gives a number of lectures which few understand because of his accent. Here he meets Florence Oats (Float) who specialises in underwater sports activities she is also known in academic circles as DR Own (Drown). She eventually joins with the Pals.
The Pals are invited to Q8 (Kuwait) to resolve some land and oil reclamation problems and help to build a Solar powered installation to provide Western You Rope (Europe) with electricity using underground micro wave transmission. Boney Tush tries to scuttle these plans and threatens to hold all the Arab States to ransom.
After a number of failed attempts by Boney the U.N. decide that the matter must be settled between Boney, the Huns, Cerco, Rudie and the Imps on an uninhabited island in the south Atlantic. No imported weapons will be permitted. Eventually Boney backs down is imprisoned and that's the last that is heard of him and the Huns.
The book more or less ends with Cerco musing "we might be rid of Boney but where there is money another will always follow and we will not be rid of Huns because they come from humans greed, thoughts and plots and that is embedded in their behaviour to such an extent that, sadly, it will never change" and that is the lead to the sequel which is partly written
