Philip Miller - All The Galaxies (2nd Hand Softback)
Synopsis
John Fallon is a disillusioned journalist on a failing Glasgow newspaper. After a second failed independence referendum, Scotland is in turmoil, having broken into a number of autonomous city states.
Roland, his son, has gone missing after a student protest turns into a violent clash with the newly militarised police. Roland has in fact been killed, but is wakened in the afterlife by his spirit guide, his beloved childhood dog, Kim. Kim takes Roland on a journey to the planet where the dead go, where Roland hopes to find his long dead mother.
Meanwhile, Fallon, searching for his son, uncovers a trail that leads to beleaguered city leader, Parry, and his shadowy advisor, Norloch. As Roland makes a shocking discovery that requires an impossible choice, Fallon discovers that a great deal more is at stake than the future of one nation.
In All the Galaxies, Miller presents a mesmerising morality tale than proves both a compulsive page-turner and unforgettable emotional journey.

External Reviews
‘A wonderful mix of dystopia and supernatural, full of enough twists and turns to make sure the reader is always guessing what’s going to happen next. Yet for all its weirdness, at its core, this is a truly life-affirming tale of loss and love.’ - The Scot Magazine.
'‘A riveting tale set in an entirely plausible future Glasgow. Elegant and enthralling. A wonderful read’ - Daniela Sacerdoti.
'‘All the Galaxies gives us a vivid image of dystopian Scotland, then adds to it the rush of intergalactic flight, the devil, mass murder, some luminous jellyfish, and a poignant portrayal of a struggling single father. That is to say, it is unsettling and uncommon and darkly atmospheric, with disarming flashes of hope and beauty.’ - Denise Mina.
'‘It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s humorous, it’s thought provoking and its poignan . . . it’s a stunning book, it takes you on quite a journey.’ - The Scotsman.
