Something in the bush

It might be magical realism or it might be real magic, but something very strange is happening at CERN after an explosion shakes the planet and the Large Hadron Collider runs out of control; the boundary between fact and fiction becomes increasingly blurred as Astrid Nielsen, the only physicist left alive who knows how the LHC works, must return to Geneva in a desperate attempt to save the world.In 2011, Something In The Bush came second in the University of Central Lancashires sci-fi/fantasy writing competition. The editorial board was looking for something new and unusual; they appraised Something In The Bush in the following terms:"First, let me emphasise what we really like about it: the editorial board were really impressed by the inventive and engaging plot (or anti-plot?) of Something In The Bush which manages to achieve great moments of dramatic tension and intrigue, while simultaneously undermining traditional narrative tropes. Its a really ambitious idea, and one thats carried along admirably by your confident and inventive prose."
