    About this ebook

    Ecology can have unlikely helpers, from the soldier committing the ultimate sabotage, to phantoms from the future foiled in their attempts to save the human race. And corrupt councillors beware the lady with too many cuckoo clocks, the company offering replacement bodies, mirrors reflecting the truth... and always remember that badgers are people, too.

      When I Find Hidden Gems, I Destroy Them

      Jul 28, 2021

      Three people may keep a secret if two of them are dead, said Benjamin Franklin. The sickening truth about travel writers is that they reveal secret locations in exchange for a free trip. It’s a Faustian pact and I must admit I bear some guilt in this
