Description
Tomorrow is Another Life is a thrilling, satirical adventure story, which takes you into an African wonderland called Mutabe where nothing makes sense and the truth reinvents itself daily, if not more often.
Leon, a 30 year old Mutabese refrigeration engineer, was brought to the UK as a baby by his aid worker parents. He’s just been left by his partner. He’s broke. He’s lost his job, he’s lost his furniture and he’s about to lose his flat. A knock on the door heralds an unexpected visitor; the immaculately dressed Mr Bankole. Bankole tells Leon that his adoptive parents were British agents who kidnapped him, and that he is, in fact, the grandson of Chief Onagaku, leader of the Tribal Lands, and first president of Mutabe after independence from the British. Now Mutabe is suffering under the yoke of the despotic Oblanga. The people are primed to revolt and free themselves. All they need is a figurehead. All they need is Leon.
Bankole asks Leon to accompany him back to Mutabe without delay. Bankole doesn’t know it, but there could be a problem. Leon is gay and homosexuality is a capital offence in Mutabe.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Praise for The Code (2018)
"As someone who loves thrillers, for me this was a cut above the average standard of writing and plotting. But this is more than a thriller, the relationships were beautifully observed, the plotting very subtle; the characters were real and well rounded. I really liked the way that the author screwed the tension tighter and tighter as the novel progressed." - Amazon
The writing is sharp, laced with deliciously witty one-liners and it makes a change to experience laugh-out-loud moments that come from skilful characterisation rather than some laborious set-up which telegraphs the punchline well in advance. This would appear to be a debut novel, in which case I hope others will follow soon as I'm definitely ready for more from this author. Definitely recommend it. - Amazon

Louise G, Reviewer
Some sensitive modern challenges are addressed in this book, which offers great characters and quite a complex plot. The pace was, at times, uneven, but overall I found myself so engrossed in the twists and turns that it didn’t really matter. A different sort of book for people who like books which offer amazing characters and sharp dialogue.
