Next Wuh Lax Book
Amazing that I can read an email from you sitting for a cup of tea in the Royal Albert Museum. Thank you for your reply and question. The book I am working on is the second in the Wuh Lax series and explores the relationship between what makes up the here and now, other points in time and space, and what I call 'elsewhere'.
The title will probably be "Still Light, Wuh Lax and the Invisible Bull Frogs." It will contain loads of physics, history, and mystery, but the story line is about Caracatus, Corellus, Elias, Wuh, Wimteldum, Scapula and a horrible secret of some Roman soldiers who are being killed off one by one.
The young Vespasian and the older Corellus work together to determine why the West Country is such a dangerous place and discovery wicked plots by Augustus and Scapula. But, that is not all. Bullfrogs operate to frustrate the best plans of Wimteldum, Wim, revealed as a clandestine operative of the spiral world, which operates under a different mathematics and physics. Everything leads to misfortune as betrayal leads to the capture and transport to Tyre of Caracatus brother Togodomus, who is mistaken for the successor to the English throne, such as it is? Meanwhile Wuh's sister and mother are missing, kidnapped by slave traders, and sold off to Libyan centurians, formerly under the command of Vespasian.
My story explains the missing Vespasian years as he goes into hiding and becomes a breeder of mules, the terrible secret of why Roman soldiers in Somerset conspire against the Julian family, and intrigue in Rome to kill off Luke. In any event, the story line mixes physics, history, and struggle with frustrated apparitions who are trying to revise the earthly time line because it is following the wrong mathematics implanted by Ba Aer (Error). Ba Ed (Education) instructs Wuh on the physics and meaning of light, while Ba Glas (Reflection) established a connection between waves and people.
My story begins by dismissing the idea that not all human beings are muggles in the JK Rowland sense, that witches and wizards exist in the Harry Potter sense, but that waves and apparitions from the "elsewhere" really do operate continuously in our universe and are the invisible bullfrogs in our room!
You asked the question and I have given you an answer! I hope to have it all written up by July 4th.
