Résumé

Some people have a Guardian Angel. Others aren't so lucky and have a Guardian Devil. On the first night of autumn, Yorkshirewoman and lifelong green campaigner Verity Player comes face-to-face with Lancastrian evil genius Stan 'Satanic' Mills, who has been stalking her throughout her adult life. She recognises him from an incident in her youth. He's the mastermind behind the spread of an idea so simple - and so fundamental to everyday living - that few people would think to question it.
But Verity has long ago grasped its infernal logic. She knows it as the mechanism that lurks behind humanity's apparent death wish. And now, facing its creator, she's the only mortal who can fight to make him halt it before its final, devastating phase. Her struggle pitches her into a surreal game. Desperate, she bargains for a sporting chance. But this comes at a price: the forfeit of her precious conscience if she fails to strike the first blow by New Year.
C. L. Spillard is a complex interplay of matter and energy in a pattern of waves whose probability cloud is densest in York, United Kingdom. Following the profound influence, in a mysterious process not yet fully understood by science, of the NASA moon landings on the young pattern's quantum-based self-awareness mechanisms, C. L. Spillard developed an interest in Physics and the plight of life on our small, blue spheroid.
A career in scientific research beckoned, including complex calculations of what happens to radio-waves being sent through the atmosphere by people who wish to talk to each other. This included studying the weather - which brings us right back to the plight of life. C. L. Spillard has among other things dropped dead in Downing Street for Greenpeace, sat in a flooded tent on Solsbury Hill in an attempt to fight off a motorway, and planted more trees - sometimes under cover of darkness - than you can shake a stick at.
C. L. Spillard's wave-pattern enjoys proximity to a second pattern originating in St Petersburg (Russia), and these two have since generated two younger ones who are now diffusing over the planet stuffing themselves with knowledge as if it were going out of fashion.
