$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('No.19 Bus', 'T')he Novel begins in 2070 and gently gives the reader a hint of what the world has gone through in the past seventy years. It then jumps back to 2003 and introduces forty different characters, tracing their lives up to 2003 and then to 2007.

The Novel makes some startling short term predictions. How accurate will they be? The author hopes he’s got most of his predictions wrong because it’s getting a bit frightening. So far his predictions for the future have been eerily accurate.

The Novel was begun in 1997 when the author chose as the backdrop a War in Iraq over Oil in 2003. He predicted the descent into civil war in Iraq and beyond. What’s coming next? You’ll have to buy the book to find out.

The Novel is appearing in ten volumes. Volume One is available now.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')u]The Truth About the War and Oil is a book that once you’ve started you won’t be able to put down. Facts, figures, stories and analysis follow one another in an enthusiastic avalanche.

The Planet’s systems are on a precipice. Oil and Gas, the two major Hydrocarbons which fuel our industrial societies are getting increasingly hard to find. As they slowly run out our lifestyles are going to have to change.

“The Truth about the War and Oil” is also a wonderful detective story. Most ordinary people know that the recent war in Iraq was about oil but mainstream news tends to gloss over it. Why? This book explains in some detail. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

If you are up to the challenge you will emerge, not with a lot of answers, but some really serious and useful questions.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')u]Creating Tomorrow introduces the reader to the no19bus trip. It begins with a fascinating exploration into the Nature of Creation, the Nature of Time and the Inevitable Processes of Natural Change.

The reader is drawn into a vortex, gently spun round a few times, and then, quite literally turned upside down. Eventually you land back on Terra Firma with a new and rather wonderful vision of the future.

The World is about to go through a major metamorphosis. The no19bus “Tomorrow” explains why and illustrates though some fundamental philosophy that this metamorphosis is, in reality, what we have all been waiting for.


I think I first came across these books by Stephen Hamilton-Bergin back in 2003 and didn't buy any of them, prefering to read non-fiction. Since then, I have seen absolutely ZERO references anywhere about them but the website is still there and the descriptions of the books seem compelling enough for many folks on PO.com and elsewhere.

Is he a terrible writer or something? Has anyone read any of these?

Don't forget to include a link to his site: no19bus.org.uk

No excerpts but you posted about this three years ago: No.19 Bus - Novels about peoples' lives post-peak. Sounds like you were quoting a review.

Those were not my words. That was from the site also. I just hadn't used the proper quote format.

Seems odd that no one has ever read anyof these books. They must just plaint flat-out suck or something.
