The Man With a Spare Room in His Head

Fifty-year-old council worker Brian Price didn't know he had a spare room in his head, so it came as a complete surprise when Gordlyn, a fifth-dimensional entity from Al Nur, took up residence.

The Al Nurians were once similar to humans, but ascended to the fifth dimension and became energy beings. You might think this means they are enlightened. Unfortunately for Brian Price, they are not. The Al Nur race is racked by infighting and petty squabbling, and worst of all, they use earthlings to help resolve their differences. Engaging 'Daints' - Al Nurians who can cohabit within a human brain - they play chess-like games using other beings, like humans, as their pawns.

Poor Brian didn't want a lodger taking up room in his head. He didn't want to be part of the hilarious rollercoaster ride his life became. He certainly didn't want to be beaten up, committed, responsible for riots and strikes, or to become an accidental hero.

He just wanted life to be easy, to enjoy some true love and a little 'rumpty tumpty'. But his life was not that simple. The Al Nur had other plans for him, and all he could do was hold on to his hat and try not to lose his sanity!
