Gang member turned hippie Len Stone searched for enlightenment and experience. He'd tried it all - gurus and mysticism, journeys to the East, drugs and religion. But then, on a grubby bookstall in the cold streets of London, Stone chanced upon Panlyrae: A Message for Mankind, the story of Ed Freeman and his contact with aliens.

Intrigued by Freeman's story, he hoped he too could learn the secrets of the universe through interaction with benevolent aliens. And then, in the nightclub he managed, he met a young woman, a runaway, and thought he'd found at last his soror mystica, his mystical sister. Together, they began to explore alien worlds.

But when Stone employed a handsome bruiser to mind the doors, he let trouble in rather than keeping it out.

Spanning continents, decades and worlds, Sorrow Mystica is a tale of alien contact, intrigue, espionage, and death. It is also an exploration of narrative, fiction and truth.
