Résumé

There's a theory that death isn't the end-just a transfer to another universe. For most people, the transition comes with a clean slate. New life. No memories. No baggage. Tom Two-Dan $mith (sic) doesn't get that luxury. Every time he dies, he remembers everything. In his latest reality shift, Tom wakes up as the head of a vast, wildly successful corporation. famous for doing absolutely nothing anyone can define.
Worse still, neither can its employees. When the entire Board of Directors meets an abrupt and suspiciously convenient end, Tom is forced to rebuild leadership from a pool of deeply questionable candidates: a psychopathic warrior race, a genius tech prodigy, a former Magus now trapped in a ball of fur, an overly devoted secretary, a stubborn director who refuses to leave, a seductive wildcard, and a female android with her own agenda.
And that's just the start of his problems. The Temporal Conduct Authority-guardians of time, space, and bureaucratic irritation-are closing in. They don't believe in Tom's "death is a doorway" theory, and they're determined to send him back to where he belongs: properly dead. Meanwhile, his old ally the Magus is battling a bizarre Docu-virus that causes uncontrollable hair growth, the Skagans are fighting a losing battle against a ruthless intergalactic tax system, and reality itself seems to be unravelling at the edges.
As timelines collide and chaos escalates, Tom must outwit assassins, out-manage lunatics, and somehow stay alive long enough to die again. Because in Tom's case. death is only the beginning.
Robert Wingfield used to sleep in the technology department of a large organisation between 9 and 5 each day, (except on Fridays when they woke him at 4 and sent him home early), but he finally got tired with this taxing routine and left his job for good. A prolific writer, to date he has over twenty works, electronically and in paperback, available through various outlets-all can be tracked through www.robertwingfieldauthor.co.uk.
His work covers several genres:Satirical sci-fi novels, 'The Dan Provocations', hopefully having you laughing out loud (or cringing, when you realize how closely satire matches reality). Gothic chillers in the form of the 'Ankerita' series (The Seventh House) featuring a Tudor anchoress reborn in modern times. Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.
Other short stories with a supernatural flavor ('The Black Dog of Peel' is free for you on this site). For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.
For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it. For those struggling authors, he runs The Inca Project, a set of free resources to help you get your works into print. He also provides formatting and editing services through the project, to ensure you get the best result from your masterpiece.
See www.incaproject.co.ukHe has written many reviews on management books and was a member of the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers when he was working and could afford the subscriptions. His other interests include digital forensics, nature and building conservation, photography, and resisting emotional blackmail from his Labrador. Favorite quotes:Don't give up your day job...
