Fantasy & SciFi

Graham Paint is a downsizing consultant, and sick of it. One morning he misses his bus when he stops to put a strange caterpillar in a matchbox. As the bus passes he's shocked to spot himself inside. Like Schrödinger's Cat in the famous quantum thought experiment, the caterpillar has spawned parallel possibilities. This comic novel explores Graham's search for a better life among the various overlapping alternatives.

Another clone, Grim Dupeint, is a loathsome international arms dealer. Graham infiltrates Grim's corporation, then embezzles cash for charity. When a furious Grim realises, Graham must act fast. And right now he's acting like fish food.

Graham launches upon a new lifestyle (and sex life) as he dons the designer suits of power. But sinister figures soon see through Graham's expensive clothing.

Now Graham's under attack from the corporation, the police, his ex-wife's private detective, and an infuriatingly pompous water-colourist who Graham might have been if he'd gone to art college rather than business school. To survive (and steal the artist's wonderful woman) Graham needs to find hidden resources.

By definition Dopplegraham's equally resourceful
