A dysfunctional academic, a confused psychologist, a militant activist, a Vivien Westwood-obsessed hitman, a shadowy presence in cyberspace.....and a mystery going back to King Arthur's last battle at Camlann. The Clark's Tale has more twists than a schizophrenic corkscrew. The vibrant narrative moves between Biblical Judea, Roman Britain and the present day - driven by a style of writing that is dramatically arresting and darkly comic. Described as "a thinking person's page-turner", this is a world of smoke and mirrors, coincidences and contradictions, illusions and delusions. It weaves seductively through the arcane and the mystical - but is finally resolved by a truth that is shockingly and grimly mundane. Ultimately, it is a book about secrets - especially those we keep from ourselves.......

Imagine being Lord of the Universe, King of the Heavens, god of gods. You can see everything, do anything, go anywhere. You're omniscient, immortal, worshipped by all. Cities, temples, oracles bear your sacred name. You are the Father-Protector invoked to cure all ills. Your powers are limitless. And......you're bored. Cosmically bored. Why? That's the one thing your omniscience doesn't know. But it does know that this boredom - this stale, listless apathy - is becoming dangerous. Dangerous for yourself and dangerous for the entire universe. Something must change - by doing the one thing you've never done before and by going to the one place you've never been before. The Zeus Project is a mind-tickling trawl through mythology, theology, psychology, etymology, numerology, meteorology, ornithology and anger management. Apart from our eponymous hero, we also meet - among others - Hera, Aphrodite, Hades, Dionysus, Apollo (and Apollo 13), Herakles, Hesiod, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Jesus, Einstein, a young Steven Spielberg, two talking ravens and a sandfly. This book follows the ultimate quest, the greatest adventure - the search for the one thing we all seek. The Zeus Project will make you think. And laugh. A lot.
