The Price of Time by C L Spillard
Some people have a Guardian Angel. Some aren't so lucky, and have a Guardian Devil.And lifelong green campaigner Verity Player of York has just come face-to-face with hers: evil genius Stan 'Satanic' Mills.He's the mastermind behind the spread of an idea so simple - and so fundamental to everyday life - that few people would think to question it.But Verity has long ago grasped its infernal logic. She knows it as the mechanism that lurks behind humanity's apparent death wish. And now, facing its creator, she's the only mortal who can fight to make him halt it before its final, devastating phase.Her struggle pitches her into a surreal game.Desperate, she bargains for a sporting chance. But this comes at a price: the forfeit of her precious conscience if she fails to strike the first blow by New Year.
C.L. Spillard is a complex interplay of matter and energy in a pattern of waves whose probability cloud is densest in York, United Kingdom. This has not always been the case. Much earlier, the pattern spent a year in Seattle (USA). There, in a mysterious process not yet fully understood by science, impressions of space travel, including the Moon landings, permanently modified the young pattern's quantum-based self-awareness mechanisms. This fuelled a drive to pursue more space-related knowledge and a desire to maintain, on planet Earth, the optimum conditions for life. So C.L. Spillard is a lifelong Physicist and enthusiast for all things Environmental, including Environmental Economics. The Americans have a lot to answer for. C.L. Spillard's wave-pattern enjoys proximity to a second pattern originating in St Petersburg (Russia), and these two have since generated two younger ones who are now diffusing over the planet stuffing themselves with knowledge as if it were going out of fashion.
