Telford's Odyssey

A novel in ten acts, following the misadventures of correspondent Jack Telford, from 1945 until his death in 1983. A series of linked long short stories, and short novellas, brought together in Telford’s Odyssey. ‘Odysseus had it easy,’ said Jack Telford. ‘Only adrift for ten years after his war. But me? It’s taken me forty!’ Forty years before he could finally come home. And all those journeys; the places he’d seen; the treacheries he’d known; the enemies he’d managed to make, like Papa Hemingway; the unlikely friendship with young George Harrison; the secrets he’d discovered; the dangers he’d come through. Unscathed? Hardly. Though, just look what he’d found at the end. Had it been worthwhile? Had he made a difference somewhere along the road? Somewhere in those forty long years?
