The Golden Rule: No employee, agent, or advocate of The Seems having access (or with access) to the confidential Case File of a person in The World may engage in contact, communication, and/or relationship with said person, romantic or otherwise. Becker Drane has been known to bend a few Rules when saving The World. But the one Rule Becker swore to obey has proven to be the easiest to break. And the Powers That Be aren't putting up with it anymore. Becker is on serious probation. But then a Train containing six weeks worth of Thought mysteriously disappears in the Middle of Nowhere. Becker is called-along with a crack team of veteran Fixers-to work the Mission. Almost immediately, things take a turn for the weird. As The World's supply of Thought dwindles, a centuries-old mystery is solved, long-lost friends are found, and Becker's Fixing skills are pushed to the limit. But even if he manages to finish this Mission safely (and prove his worth to the Powers That Be), it might be his last Fix. . . .

From the Department ofWeather to the Department of Sleep, The Seems is a secret organization that makes sure our world keeps running-and more importantly, sticks to The Plan that's been made for it. When a Glitch is reported in the Department of Sleep, Becker is dispatched to Fix it, but he's not so sure this is a routine mission. Could the Bed Bugs, who are behind our Worst Nightmares, be responsible for the problem? Or maybe it's The Tide, an underground organization bent on destroying The Seems? No matter what, Becker's in for quite an adventure, and it'll take all his training, a little luck, and the coolest ToolsTM known in (or out of) The Seems to Fix the problem. Look out for the other books in the Seems series: The Split Second and The Lost Train of Thought!

'Brilliant... profoundly affecting. A beautiful story' - RUTH JONES, author of Never Greener ****** Michael is a broken man. He's waiting for the 09.46 to Gloucester, so as to reach Crewe for 11.22: the platforms are long at Crewe and he can walk easily into the path of a high-speed train to London. He's planned it all: a net of tangerines (for when the refreshments trolley is cancelled), and a juice carton, full of whisky. He longs to silence the voices in his head: ex-partners, colleagues, and the unbearable memories of work and school. What Michael hasn't factored in, however, is a twelve-minute delay. He's going to miss his connection - and make a few new ones... ****** 'An absorbing novel...set in the comic wonderland of the English rail network' Daily Mail 'Carefully crafted and with an undertow of melancholy, Train Man is reminiscent of Nick Hornby's high-concept scenarios' Guardian 'Mulligan's prose...delivers a strong human story with impressive skill' Mail on Sunday
