Changes in the lives of seven small groups of people in the 1970s are
encapsulated in seven contrasting stories, involving rape, attempted
suicide, exorcism, revenge, kidnapping, punishment, and capture of a
NAZI. Essential background for the stories, is provided by the railway
line from Victoria, that snakes through the London suburbs, stopping at
seven stations beyond Clapham Junction, to end at Rudgwick Green in the
North Downs. The author is an Emeritus Professor of Astronomy, retired
from The Open University. Additionally, in his own name he has published
five books on various areas of astronomy ranging from textbooks to books
for a much wider audience. Recently he published a much lauded thriller
for young adults 'Element94' (Lulu 2011), available on Amazon.
