The second in a series of novels named ’Ends & Means’ is set in the University sector and considers the effect of matters beyond the control of individuals, on their responsibilities and behaviour.Disasters, man-made or otherwise have effects far beyond those immediately affected. The consequences ripple from the source with no regard to the limits of personal trauma.In October 1966 there was a tragedy in a small mining village in South Wales when a waste tip slid down the mountainside, engulfing a farmhouse, a primary school and a row of houses. 116 children and 28 adults were buried alive in a sea of slurry. No-one’s life would ever be the same again.
