2020 - John Roman Baker - Bog

Can love and hope survive in a climate of fear and betrayal?
In the early months of 2020, Alex is determined to live his life elsewhere. In his confusion of escape and longing for another home, he accidentally meets Paul, a sleek and potentially dangerous man who threatens to tear apart the barriers to his heart; barriers built partly by the shadowy, beautiful figure of Luc and a truth that is difficult to face.
Slowly, Alex and Paul realise a disaster is approaching that imperils not only them but the whole world.
