The Golden Cube by Matt Taylor www.lulu.com/en/gb/shop/matt-taylor/the-golden-cube/paperback/product-18k48mmd.html

A cross between Dan Brown and Ben Elton with a healthy splash of David Icke.

Imagine a world where space travel, cellular regeneration, perfect engines, space travel, aliens, reincarnation and a host of other marvels are common place, but no-one but an elite few know about them. Amongst these elite few are God, Satan and group militaristic human Illuminati who are constantly playing a game with Satan over how the world is ordered. Leonardo “Bingo” Ashman, a small time political activist eking out an existence in Brighton, lives in such a world, and who knows, maybe we do too. What he doesn’t know is he is very special and when he comes into possession of the Golden Cube, he is cast into a new and strange world with his travelling companion, a cellularly regenerated Queen Elizabeth II. The adventure leads them all over Western Europe and eventually to the Scottish Isles where the fate of all mankind rests in his hands.

Every year, hundreds of people risk their lives climbing Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth. Every year, governments, climbing companies, and mountain experts wring their hands over the dangers, the deaths, the overcrowding, and the environmental damage. The solution is obvious. Build an escalator.

By now, everyone has seen or heard about the harrowing final scenes of Russell T Davies’ latest Channel 4 drama. It was designed to provoke, to shock, and to leave us uncomfortable. But as the credits rolled, the overwhelming feeling in my living room wasn't enlightenment. It was frustrating, offensive and way off the mark.
