The Silent Sentry by Chris Paling

The Silent Sentry by Chris Paling

Maurice Reid is a radio producer. He spends his days alone in his dark office communicating only by e-mail. His doctor ascribes this malaise to the constant changes Maurice has been facing at work. The Corporation is being streamlined and Maurice is beginning to wonder if there's still a place for him. There's certainly no room for him at home. His wife is living with another woman; his son is confused. And his girlfriend has come back from Brazil with an ultimatum. He seeks solace at work in the camaraderie of his battle-scarred colleagues, some still struggling to produce serious radio, others, like his editor 'Peculiar' Edwards, hatching suicidal schemes to bring the Corporation down around their heads. THE SILENT SENTRY is a heartbreakingly funny novel about how large organisation is defined by the people who work in it - and the perils for both sides if that goes unacknowledged.

Chris Paling is the author of seven novels, After the Raid, Deserters, Morning All Day, The Silent Sentry, Newton's Swing, The Repentant Morning and A Town By the Sea. He lives in Brighton.
