God is dead: Mother has killed him. After the Religious World War the future Earth is left ravaged by the conflict between the religious and the secular world. Forced underground, the PORCs - people of religious conviction- inhabit subterranean caves, and run secret cells to recruit others to their cause, plotting and planning their revenge. But the supercomputer who controls the world - Mother - has a force of brutal and deadly clones at her command to hunt them down and destroy them - they are The Faith Seekers. They say that Faith Seekers don't have souls - that they are genetically engineered not to have one. Faith Seekers are like tanks. They are incredibly strong, fierce and full of technology, but rogue Faith Seekers Sunetra and Mandrake endure torture and horror in their fight to escape this savage and war-torn Earth in their search for The Idyll - a perfect world of freedom and happiness - but does it exist or is it a fantasy like the heaven of long ago?

A brilliantly warm-hearted celebration of the lost art of having funWhen Greg James was ten years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ('to me, to you') signed an autograph (from them, to him) with the message 'All the best for the future.’ It was a weirdly formal message for a kid. Ten-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life. How could he? No one really knows what's coming. We all have big dreams and small ones, ideas about how we want our lives to pan out: when you'll get married, where you'll live, how many children you want, what you want to be when you grow up. We race through the milestones, desperate to unlock life's next level and before you know it, you’re a ‘grown up'. That’s all well and good but have you remembered to have fun along the way?Whether it's entertaining the nation with his hugely popular BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, writing big funny adventures for kids with his bestselling children's books, finding the joy in cricket and F1 in his podcasts Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious, or posting stupid videos of his adorable but quite thick dog Barney, Greg’s focus is to put a smile on people's faces because, let's face it, having fun is something we all forget to prioritise sometimes.In All the Best for the Future, Greg looks at how he thought his life would go and shares the things that wind him up, make him sad, make him laugh and the little passions and interests that he relies on to get him through the day - whether it was a good one or a bad one. He tells us who he is, who he thought he'd be and who he still thinks he could be. Most of all though, his message for everyone is not to let go of that inner child as he navigates how to grow up without growing old. It’s possible to be fully functioning adults, with bills to pay and a dog to look after, and still find time to play with a train set...
