Gary Cheese is twenty-two years of age and works for British Telecom as an operator. Gary's hobbies include TV, girls, music and the detective fiction of twentieth century's best selling novelist, the now legendary P.P. Penrose. And, of course, attempting to re-animate the dead. He hasn't been having too much luck with the latter so far. But now Gary's got this new job in telecommunications and according to this bloke he met down the pub, there exists certain technology that can actually let you speak to the dead. Apparently it's been in operation for years. FLATLINE, it's called - a chatline to the dead. But it seems something went very wrong: the dead had certain things to say to the living that the powers that be couldn't allow to be heard. Gary's determined to find out the truth and as he's a bit of a fan boy who really wants to speak to his hero, the late great Mr. Penrose. It'd be safe to say that Gary will have the time of his life when he talks to the dead...Cover art by John Alexander and Robert Rankin.
