FARSIS is the story of a man who awakens upon another world in the midst of a vast primeval forest. He at first cannot remember who he is or how he came to be in such an unfamiliar environment. For many months his existence is a struggle for survival against nature, but not against the nature of which we are familiar. Here the strength and vitality of every life form, both of flora and fauna, are necessarily enhanced. For Farsis is a heavy gravity world. But our protagonist does survive, even thrives. Eventually he becomes a member of a warlike tribe of primitive humans, finding companionship and in time even love. Saved from captivity by the selfless courage of his mate, he leads them to victory over a more advanced, but predatory, race and helps to unify his adopted people into a stronger, more civilized society, but without destroying the basic characteristics of their culture.
The author, well known as the writer of more books on the city than anyone, explores Coventry's history from Roman times through Earl Leofric, Godiva and the Norman castle, to monastic houses, including St Mary's priory. Coventry has a rich medieval heritage, and rose to power in the Wars of the Roses, when the royal court moved there. Major themes in the city's history are discussed, through previously unknown source material, covering the Siege and Civil War, education, health, the church, crime and punishment, and industries from medieval weaving to modern car-building.
