About this ebook
Iain Bowen's Arose from the Azure Main is one of the most popular and acclaimed timelines on the internet. Beginning with the dislocation of the United Kingdom from 1980 to 1730, the effects are predictably enormous.
In Dislocated to Success, Norman St John-Stevas, Viscount Fawsley, one of the story's best-loved characters, looks back on the extraordinary event and what followed it, in 'memoirs' written fifteen years after what has become known as 'the Dislocation'.

For Westminster watchers it was all about the mooted rebellion that didn’t materialise, but for Nish and Coco, the real story was the death of an asylum seeker aboard the Bibby Stockholm barge.
