our groundbreaking new series has just completed it's first airing
on UK television. The trials and tribulations of new internet start
up www.seethru.co.uk and
it's colourful employees have captured the nation with an intriguing
blend of office politics, new media dreams and emotional instability.
For those of you that just cant wait until the second series, we've
got a great book based on the show to give away. On The Edge is a brand new novel by Rupert Smith that follows Jake and Luce as they embark on the roller-coaster ride to establish Seethru. Luce is assertive, commercially astute and, although she hates to admit it, fired by conventional middle class notions of success. Jake is a meticulous perfectionist but deeply insecure due to his lack of success with women. In alternating chapters Jake and Luce give their account. Attachments may be the starting point for On The Edge, but the confessions of Jake and Luce take the reader deep into the characters. Rupert Smith has produced an authentic, funny, fast-moving account of twenty-somethings in a new industry trying to make their way in the capital.  Luce's
story reveals a woman 'on the edge': she is at odds with husband
Mike over the direction of the site. He won't 'suck corporate dick
for no-one', while she realises that there will need to be some compromise.
The negotiations with backers take their toll on their relationship
as they both start to feel the strain. Out of the blue, Luce starts
to feel herself pulled emotionally in a different direction. Soon
she will have to make the most difficult decision of her life...  Outside
the goldfish bowl of Mike and Luce's negotiations, Jake is forced
to be realistic about his allegiances. He is dedicated to his friends
but can't afford to sit back while the site faces closure. Meanwhile
his work colleagues 'twisted old lezzer' Sophie, geek Brandon and
sexual athlete Reece continue to question his sexual preference.
Jake is facing 30 with anything but calm composure. Trying desperately
to find a girlfriend who will meet his impossibly high standards
and silence his critics, supporting Luce and Mike, abusing and being
abused by his work colleagues at Seethru and despairing at his cantankerous
father - Jake is also 'on the edge'! The Latest has five copies of On The Edge to give away, all you have to do is send an email to us at comments@world-productions.com with On The Edge Competition in the subject and answer the following question. What is the name of Jake's father? On The Edge is currently available on paperback priced £6.99 |
