Rockall is Left Behind! L J Ogle

In the last decade of the 1800's a secret group of military personnel gathered to put together plans to stop a Channel Tunnel from being built in the future. The reason - to preserve Britain's isolation from Europe; to maintain its "Island Fortress" status. Imagine, that in a period of over 100 years, successive teams had created both a machine and a network capable of turning the British Isles upside down, (or round way round, if you prefer it that way!) and the Government of the day was being held to ransom, or Britain would stay as it was and there would never be a Channel Tunnel!" Rockall is left behind!" is mostly set in 1986, in an upside down Britain, with a Conservative Government in trouble, and England playing in the World Cup Finals in Mexico; and its also a journey of discovery for Alfie - a vagrant who gets sucked back into society because he actually holds the key to turning everything back to normal. If the reader has an imaginative mind, a good sense of humour, and enjoys work such as Dr Who and other Sci-Fi fantasy, they will love this. Will Alfie succeed? And what is so significant about the tiny remote island of Rockall?
