"Manalone" is set in a future Britain, where society is crumbling and over half the population is out of work. The protagonist is a physicist who notices that the laws of physics seem to be changing, and the government is trying to suppress all evidence of the past. The book tells the story of his search to uncover the truth of what's happening.
A short book, but very enjoyable. I recommend it.

It appears Hachette has the US rights. There are quite a few of his books on Amazon, all priced in the $3.79 to $6.99 price range. Unfortunately,
Manalone is a $6.99 one. Not sure I am willing to spend that. Hmmm. Must check Kobo...
