Geoffrey Martin

KEY SELLING POINTS
A novel which examines the trials of life in one of the far-flung remnants of the British Empire.
From an author with direct experience of these places.
Shows the difficulties small countries of the ‘old’ British Empire now face in this ‘modern world’ and with a
largely uninterested ruling nation.

A snapshot of life in a small Caribbean island, an unwanted remnant of empire that Britain would like to but
cannot ignore.

In the hope that it might pay for itself it has been encouraged to become a tax haven with all the usual (and
unusual) associated activities – and a luxury holiday destination.

People who belong there adjust as best they can to the bombardment of new ways, ideas and businesses.
Some try to ignore it, some are bemused, some adapt, and the sharper ones take full advantage. There are new
visitors - tourists, idealists, escapers and businessmen of varying degrees of honesty.

And there is one feisty lady who only wants to care for animals but who inadvertently gets caught up in matters
that she knows nothing about.

Geoffrey Martin has spent some time living in small communities in the remains of the British Empire. From
the edge of the Serengeti to islands in the South Pacific, South Atlantic and Caribbean, places full of interesting
characters and events.
