Jack Walker was already fed up with the world before the news of its demise came in. One anti-depressant short of a strait jacket, Jack has struggled to come to terms with modern society seemingly all of his life. And as the technological world has only become more interconnected as he's grown older, it's ironically only left Jack feeling even more alienated and alone, cold to a culture that has long since left him behind. So when the news comes in that the world's time is up, Jack finds that he's the only one in a position to deal with the new reality with a cool head. As global powers announce an impending nuclear war that could destroy all life on the planet, entire societies quickly start to fall apart as populations scramble to put together some kind of last minute survival plan. Well suited to the kind of environment this disaster would bring, Jack is forced to overcome desperate situations and a ticking clock if he wants to actually live long enough to see it become a reality. Weaving comedy into Jack's incredibly bleak life, the bitingly satirical new novel from Mark Davies, Nothing Important Happened Today promises to be the most relevant end of the world tale for our times. As life in a haunting post-apocalyptic society becomes more and more of a reality, Jack might finally find something resembling the peace and quiet he's craved for so long in this new world - that is, as long as he can survive long enough to appreciate it.

Following on from the apocalyptic events of Nothing Important Happened Today, Jack Walker has survived the Third World War thanks to his own secret nuclear fallout shelter. Although he was the person everyone least expected to come out on top in a do-or-die situation, Jack's detachment from society and his critical ability to worry about everything and prepare for even the most unlikely of situations in the end allowed him to prosper while everyone else succumbed to the chaos. But after a month spent enjoying the safe isolation in his end of the world trump card, Jack is forced to leave and face the dreaded outside world again. Emerging to a landscape that bears little resemblance to a world that aggravated him, the idea of having this ravaged version of England to himself - even if it is a barren wasteland - initially seems like a dream come true. In a twisted way the end of the world initially was probably the best thing to ever happen to the recluse. That is, until he realises that it's not only him that has survived to see this apocalyptic new world, but the people responsible for it. Travelling throughout the destroyed wasteland he now calls home, Jack comes into contact with more than he ever bargained for, and gains a sense of responsibility that he thought he was finally free from once and for all.

Following on from the apocalyptic events of Nothing Important Happened Today, Jack Walker has survived the nuclear holocaust. He has even survived the British survivors who wanted to separate him from his wits. The problem is that he has discovered a secret council of powerful people who used to rule the world and think they should do so again. Jack would let it alone, but this council could decide to kill the few friends he made who weren't intent on killing him. Unfortunately, there are pockets of this strange council all over the world - the biggest being in New York. If he is to save his new-found friends back in England he just may have to cause a little carnage in America. Like the rest of the world, New York is a far different place and the survivors here are an entirely different flavour of 'crazy'. Armed with his trusty kukri and his knuckleduster blades Jack attempts to infiltrate a city full of homicidal religious maniacs and an underground complex swarming with heavily armed Troopers. While doing so, Jack uncovers a secret of biblical proportions and a surprising revelation about himself.

Infinite Value argues that a value-based approach is the best way forward in order for a business to thrive and grow in the modern economy - ie, when a salesperson uses value selling techniques to identify the needs of the customer and highlight how those needs are met by the product being sold, the customer becomes more invested in acquiring that product.Although a value-based business strategy provides stronger competitive advantage and long-term profits for both the supplier and the customer, few organizations manage to work in this way for sustained periods. This book offers a seven-pillar model to help organizations understand and implement the concepts of value-based selling, including reviews of:- customer strategy- value propositions- strategic customers- value pricing.For any organization, regardless of size, Infinite Value offers a unique perspective on proactive selling techniques and effective practices in client relationship management.
