Cold Fusion 2000 Karl Drinkwater

Can love defeat the laws of physics?

Alex Kavanagh is a pedantic physics geek - a teacher who hates teaching, a lover who's always getting dumped, a writer whose articles all get rejected, a 28-year-old still living at home and bullied at the bus stop by teenagers - and he's just had the worst day of his life. Things can only get better, right?

Enter his ex, Lucy, in what seems to be a chance meeting. Her betrayal marked the point when his life went nuclear. But - holy protons! - he still loves her.

Two problems. First, she isn't who he thinks she is. Second, she's going to leave him forever in 72 hours.

Cold Fusion 2000 is a haunting novel about a man who's too rational to believe in ghosts and too short-sighted to see what was in front of him all along.
