In this prequel to
The Standing Ground, we travel back two generations to the origins of the oppressive E-Government state that infiltrates every aspect of people's lives in the decade following Brexit and a global pandemic. But, as the darkness overtakes Britain and other areas of Europe, the light of resistance wakes in a community that spans the Celtic outposts of Brittany and North Wales. And in a strange child, Myrddin Emrys, also known as Merlin.
Weaving together Arthurian legend and exploratory fiction of the near future,
The Roots of the Ground explores the human cost of a monoculture that tramples freedom and privacy and asserts with Carl Jung that:
'As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.'
