Earth is in ruins, uninhabitable, and the remaining population live in bio-domes. A Roman tribesman, Napalm Carton, believes that life in his clockwork habitat is some kind of lie. A trap, or a construct, or an experiment gone wrong, whatever. Post-apocalyptic existence makes no sense to him, and all he wants to do is escape to the reality beyond the dome of lies.
Spurred on by visions, Napalm creates a multiplayer game called tickets, with the intention of opening a door to the next level of existence. He needs the help of his sceptical friends, but first, he has to convince them that the tickets are more than a game. He also needs to confirm his suspicions that someone or something is trying to steal his invention before it’s game over for everyone.
Review excerpts from Amazon:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Open the first page, sit back, but hold on… it’s going to be a wild ride. Don’t leave something cooking on the stove when you start…”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “If you're looking for an epic tale full of wit, interesting and different characters, and a surprise around every turn, check this book out.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “This post-apocalyptic, clock-punk, dystopian, mystery/sci-fi is fantastic. Good writing, strong characters, clear witty dialogue and an exciting plot”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Travelling Without Moving is […] is like The Matrix on drugs, on a roller coaster. Its setting is so vivid it becomes like a character in itself. But Jones' writing keeps things grounded and relatable, even in this mind-bending setting. That's why this book works.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Off-the-wall names, buttery smooth dialogue, and mind-bending twists make Traveling Without Moving a superbly written SCI-FI piece.””
