Starless and Bible Black

Martin King wouldn't be on many people's "saving the world" list. Not his mates'. Not even his own. Despite his nickname, ("Neo"), he can't run up walls, dodge bullets, or do any martial arts. Martin is a middle-aged science teacher, living in the tiny village of Llareggub, in mid-Wales. And his main objective in life is avoiding stress. Throw in some clear nights for star-gazing and a sound track of cracking songs, and you've got Martin's nirvana.

But God, (or whoever it is), has other ideas. And before he knows it, Martin, together with the other Advocates, is tasked with convincing idiot politicians and greedy billionaires that something has to be done about capitalism and consumerism. And if they don't? It's end of. Not surprisingly: the politicians don't get it; the mega-rich don't want it; and the press have questions - lots of questions. As do the Secret Service. Meanwhile, Captain Cat isn't pitching in with much of any use. Which is hardly surprising. He's just a cat!
But... it's not all fun and games! A serious question is asked in this story: Is the human race too greedy and too stupid to save itself from extinction?
