Publisher's Synopsis
Franklin Zebb's life had never been straightforward. From a very early age it became clear that Franklin was different and appeared to have a somewhat charmed ability to 'get lucky' in all sorts of different and mind-bending situations, from launching a global multi-player computer games business as a teenager, to being an international athlete, a strategic subversive and an innovative media mogul with a penchant for investigative journalism and 'helping deserving causes' that might appear, at first sight, a little unusual or even dubious. He had certainly made an impact.
There comes a point in every man's life when it is time to take stock and think back over one's achievements. After an exhaustive few decades, Franklin had reached this point and decided to settle into a hermit-guru lifestyle, living in a cave in the Yorkshire Dales, writing his first book and meditating, whilst hosting various friends from his past who popped in now and again. Predictably, he attracted a faithful group of followers and curious observers, with whom he shared the remarkable stories of his life, thus far. This book is an account of Franklin's year as a hermit-guru and his own recollection of the extraordinary experience of being Franklin Zebb.The story sees Franklin succeeding, more by luck than judgement, in some key themes of social and cultural change of the past thirty plus years and rightfully claiming the title of 'Master of the Almost Believable'.This is an absurdly observational and satirical book which draws on naivety and parody whilst it tumbles along!
