The Vanishing Shore

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if America vanished from the pages of time If England had remained a strict Puritan Commonwealth for centuries... If the Mongol empire was reborn as a technologically advanced power bent on world domination... If a cataclysmic fireball had struck the Earth 400 years ago sending world civilisation in a wholly different direction Then meet Percy Blanchard. This is the world he lives in, and where his own incredible adventure is about to begin. It's the story of two great cities, the raging ocean that separates them, and one man's burning desire to know what lies beyond The Vanishing Shore. "Joe Gill's finely written novel is an adventure in every sense. His London and the fictional country of Amarivati are intimately imagined ... and the alternative history he relates is both convincing and unpredictable." Sophie Lewis, Dalkey Archive Press UK
