Omega returns the adult reader to the world of childhood imagination: a world populated by the fantastic, the fabulous and the thoroughly improbable. But a world where adult concerns of poverty, injustice, prejudice, politics and economics are all too real. In this world, the reader is taken on a search for the Truth in a more literal sense than one would expect. On the way, the reader meets characters familiar to childhood who confront this question with different formulations and very different solutions. The novel is a picaresque satire that takes the reader to places that exist only in the imagination, but are also very like those of their normal experience. The novel takes the reader to some very bizarre places and their even more bizarre inhabitants. It is likely to appeal to anyone who has not forgotten the childhood pleasures of reading in bed, but is impatient with facile answers to difficult questions.
