The Big Book of Lies

By Charles A. Sinclair

A rude, mischievous and intensely personal work of science fiction, fantasy and solid British humour, this story draws on an eclectic array of topics from history to physics to art to psychology. It is the story of one man's odyssey through space and time, from youthful fulfilment of an alien civilisation's prophecy to the hunt for the perpetrators of a heinous act of pan-galactic genocide.

Peopling this epic journey are ordinary and extraordinary humans, ordinary and extraordinary aliens, fairies, and more than a god or two, including one variously referred to as 'girlfriend', 'possession' or surrogate offspring: a confusion of relationships that reflects the reality of sentient life in all its complexity.

Peppered throughout the story, you will encounter lyrical memories, acerbic philosophies, and hilarious anecdotal exchanges, from down the pub to helicopter cockpits to the sparse quarters of a D'hogi squadron. Charlie Sinclair's alter ego alternately bounces and limps through a maelstrom of situations, always expressing his potty-mouthed opinion unapologetically.
