In a world of stars, #WhatsYourSign?
Doctor Hammond is the darling of the constellations. Genius birth chart, a doctorate in Astrology... Everything points to academic stardom. But a danger lurks at the heart of Hammond's research, and when Timon the Azod enters the stage, a collision is inescapable - because Timon is Hammond's polar opposite. Navigating the world on intuition alone, he represents the chaos Hammond tries so hard to control. And in a society built on the zodiac, he's the unthinkable: a man without a chart.
In another part of town, actor Sean Matthews prepares for the role of his life. Together with posh boy co-star Alastair Chesterton, he's about to make television history. But when the show starts bleeding into reality, Sean has to face some difficult truths – about himself, about Alastair, about reality itself. In the clutches of a narrative that's stronger than him, he's faced with the ultimate choice: to play the part he's been given, or to risk it all and go off script.
Set in a London close to our own, this story shows a world about to crumble – or be born again.
Other books by Ingela Bohm
Ingela Bohm lives in an old cinema, tucked away in a northern Swedish forest where she can wander around all day long and dictate her books. She used to dream of being an actor until an actual actor asked, “Do you really need to do it?” That’s when she realized that the only thing she really needed to do was to write. She has since pretended to be a dietician, a teacher, a receptionist and a cook, but only to conceal her real identity.
Her first imaginary friend was called Grabolina and lived in her closet. Nowadays she has too many imaginary friends to count, but at least some of them are out of the closet. Her men may not be conventionally handsome, but they can charm your pants off, and that’s all that matters.
Ingela’s more useless talents include reading tarot cards, killing pot plants and drawing scandalous pictures that no one gets to see. She can’t walk in heels and she’s stopped trying, but she has cycled 12 000 miles in the UK and knows which campsites to avoid if you don’t like spiders. If you see her on the train you will wonder what age she is.
