Q's work as a quantum cryptographer has led him to believe a crisis is imminent for civilisation and he's looking for somewhere to ride out what's ahead. He buys a ruined farmhouse on Bodmin Moor and begins turning it into a refuge.
Cornwall does not offer simple escape. The moor brings him into contact with reintroduced lynxes and aurochs, local eccentrics, an Arthurian knight and a watchful holy man. All while Q negotiates his relationships with his children, his ex-wife and the beguiling Eva. As our systems of electronic control falter, Q learns that survival may depend as much on community, love and humour as on preparation.
Shortlisted for the 2024 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize, Light Over Liskeard is a warm, wry literary novel about technological collapse, rural life, family, second chances and what matters when the future is uncertain.
