The stories detail his ensuing adventures as he tries to make sense of the societies he encounters each time he wakes.

    We share in the success and disasters of the fishing families living and working there. Fishing in the little cobles is hazardous at the best of times, but chasing the elusive lobster pushes the men and boats to the limit. Here we follow one man's dream to change all this forever - experiencing the hope, elation and disappointment along this journey fired by the author's constant admiration for these hard-working fisherfolk. Only the names are fictional; the place, people and events were all real and because Leo Walmsley is such a master storyteller the reader feels to be living amongst them. Feel the fear and discomfort of a cold and wintry storm at sea or wallow in the warmth and comfort of sitting beside Marney Lunn's blazing fire eating a 'cheese-cake'. The life may be hard but the warmth of the friendships and the spirit of community, even amongst rivals, will make you want to go back there again and again.
