Blurb: 
The Wessex Project is a shared dream, a vision of a 22nd Century Britain, one where geological instabilities brought on by mining have caused a subsiding of a large part of the south of the country creating two seperate islands for Britain, the mainland and the island of Wessex, comprising of Somerset down through Cornwall.

This is a future when the Islanic influence in the world has expanded so we get references to the Western Emirate States in place of the USA and Wessex has become a tourist centre comprising of casinos and mosques side by side.

One of the participants in this shared dream world is Julia Strettonwho's worst nightmare comes true when her ex- Paul Mason joins the project. But what will the effect of a newcomer be, expecially one with as large an ego and arrogant streak as Mason, on the 'reality' of the Wessex Project?
