God's Children

About the Book

“Be careful who you trust... things are not always as they seem.” Marcus Churchill is a bright, fit and handsome young man with a strong sense of justice and fair play. He lives in a world where truth and social order are the norm, and where deception and crime are simply beyond his comprehension. That was until, one day, a lie provokes a sequence of events that expose just how imperfect and fragile his ordered society really is. In this fast-moving action adventure, filled with subtle twists and turns, romance, humour and even corruption and war, Marcus’s mundane and tidy life is turned into a struggle for survival - not just his own survival, but also the survival of his world. God’s Children will grip you from start to finish. However, to the ‘philosophers’ among us, this story might be read as an exploration of the challenging topic of how society treats its minority and hard-to-understand groups, wrapping issues of race, colour, disability and political correctness into the storyline in a subtle and totally novel, yet highly entertaining way.

About the Author

P.A Taylor: Born in Blackpool, in 1951, Andrew, known to his friends as Andy, grew up around Liverpool, England. A financial advisor, he has always enjoyed writing. He helps run Manfred Mann’s fan club, writing articles and liner notes. Andrew is married with three children. He loves music, old television, and has a model railway in his garden! It was while prospecting for new clients in 1980 that Andrew met Ed Gilchrist. Quite soon, they became good friends. And so, some 25 years later, the idea of God’s Children was born. Andrew now lives in Wallasey, just a few miles across the River Mersey from Liverpool. The other title by P.A Taylor is “The Chronicles of Prudence Fairweather”. E B Gilchrist: Educated at the University of Cambridge and after a long and successful career in IT consulting, Ed took early retirement to spend time supporting his son, who has autism and other conditions that affect his mental health. Ed is also involved with community activities and has been a valued contributor to student development at several local universities. Ed lives in Liverpool with his wife and three grown up children. The autism of his second child and a chance meeting with his co-author were the inspiration for this story.
