What to expect

Robin Edmund Blake is halfway through his life. Born in 1986 as Halley's Comet crossed our skies, he is destined to go out with it when it returns in 2061. Until then he can't die. He has proof. And until then, he can account for every day and every pound and penny he makes in his lucrative but dull job in the City of London. His future is mapped out, he has a plan to be forever remembered, and he even has Gemma to share it with. But when Robin's sick father has one accident too many, the plan starts to unravel. Robin must return home to the tiny seaside town of Eastgate, learn to care for the man who never really cared for him, and face the childhood ghosts he's run from for decades.
