ENGLAND MUST FALL. In the near future  a disaffected civil servant is offered a lucrative job
in a mysterious new government ministry gathering 'expats' from across history to test the
limits of time-travel. Her role is to work as a 'bridge': living with  assisting and monitoring
the expat known as '1847' - Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned  Commander
Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition to the Arctic  so he's a little disoriented
to find himself alive and surrounded by outlandish concepts such as 'washing machine' 
'Spotify' and 'the collapse of the British Empire'. With an appetite for discovery and a
seven-a-day cigarette habit  he soon adjusts  and during a long  sultry summer he and his
bridge move from awkwardness to genuine friendship  to something more. But as the true shape of
the project that brought them together begins to emerge  Gore and the bridge are forced to
confront their past choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over the structures and
histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when history is living in your
house?
