A controversial plan, moral struggle, and a sea voyage collide in a sharp, satirical Victorian tale that asks what justice means when power is at stake.

In this gripping installment, a self-proclaimed advocate of the Fixed Period faces public pressure, political maneuvering, and personal doubt as he prepares to depart Britannula for England. The journey unfolds aboard a gunboat and through tense conversations about duty, belief, and the price of radical reform. The narrator’s inner conflict and knack for provocative argument drive a narrative that blends political wit with human frailty.

Across boardroom-style squabbles, family matters, and shifting loyalties, the story probes how a single idea can reshape a society—and how individuals confront fear, friendship, and the consequences of their choices. The voyage becomes a test of character as protagonists navigate ambition, law, and the limits of mercy.

A perilous voyage aboard the John Bright and the politics of departure.

Debates over the Fixed Period and the meaning of justice for the elderly.

The clash between creed and compassion, and the tension between public duty and private feeling.

Ideal for readers of Victorian satire and morally complex journeys, where ideas challenge institutions and hearts are put to the test.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a novel set in a fictional country called Britannula, tells a futuristic tale of a society that has implemented a controversial law known as the Fixed Period. Under this law, citizens over the age of 68 are required to voluntarily surrender their lives to be "deposited" in a college-like institution where they will spend their final year in contemplation before being "cremated." The protagonist, President Neverbend, is the architect of this law and firmly believes in its ability to solve the problems of overpopulation and resource scarcity. However, as the day of the first deposition approaches, Neverbend faces growing opposition and moral dilemmas that challenge his convictions. The author explores the ethical implications of euthanasia, the tension between individual rights and societal progress, and the complexities of human nature in the face of mortality. The book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of social engineering and the enduring value of human life.
