It has declared itself a religious-free country. This policy is enforced by deportation. For Nat Dexter, a geography teacher brought up in this stable, secure world it becomes a nightmare.

More DescriptionEurope has collapsed and split along religious, tribal lines. The UIA, influenced by Confucianism, has taken a radical step to find a unifying bond and create a stable society. It has declared itself a religious-free country. This policy is enforced by deportation. For Nat Dexter, a geography teacher brought up in this stable, secure world it becomes a nightmare. He discovers that his wife-to-be has been brought up covertly, by her father, as a Christian. 'Gliding with Black Swans' takes place in the near future, the late 21st and early 22nd centuries, in Europe and the United Isles of Albion (UIA), formerly the UK. 'A rollercoaster of a thriller ... gives pause for thought about religion ... and how to achieve global and environmental sustainability ... I genuinely wasn't sure what would happen ... a thoroughly enjoyable read.' Jill Murphy, The Bookbag. A speculative novel in the vein of '1984', 'Brave New World', and 'The Man in the High Castle'.
