Life on Mars (Paperback)

The novel 'Life on Mars' was originally conceived as a stage rock opera inspired by the work of David Bowie. A little over an hour ago, Vic had been a weak 68 year old man, but that wasn't what he saw in the mirror now. Instead, he saw a weak young man, clearly in his mid twenties. Instead of his unkept mop of hair he sported a rubber cap and from it protruded dozens of plastic tubes. They trailed over his shoulders like a wig of translucent dreadlocks. "What year is this?" He whispered, leaning forward to study his reflection. There was no reply. "Miss, er Blue. I asked you a question." he said a little louder, trying to remain calm. "The year is TVC15." she replied cheerfully, then realising he would not understand Blue bit her bottom lip whilst quickly making the conversion. "T, Twentieth Century, V for 500 plus fifteen years. That would be?" She looked up for a moment. "Yes, to you that would be the year 2515."
