Derek Turner brilliantly exposes the insanity of political correctness and its assault on national sovereignty and Western culture. When bodies of undocumented immigrants wash up on the North Sea coast of the United Kingdom, the professional classes demand open borders and assault the local farmer who made a few off hand remarks on the day the news broke. Turner's novel is fast paced and entertaining. I was particularly taken by his in-depth description of the trials and tribulations of his Iraqi renegade, his portraits of the left-wing and right-wing journalists. Sea Changes reminds me of the best of Evelyn Waugh. Have some laughs and shed a few tears for the state of Western Civilization.

The author's first novel, this is a highly accomplished and prescient tale of one man's migration, posing as a refugee, from Iraq to London, and of a life in parallel, that of a simple English farmer affected by events in the wake of ongoing mass immigrations east to west. The pace of the story is breathtaking and compelling, the satire very biting at times, the language often lyrical, the denouement melancholic. I highly recommend this brilliant fictional work related to troubling contemporary events and expect that you will be looking for more works by Mr. Turner as I did.

An outstanding book. Deserves many more readers.
A strength is his presentation of the Iraqi asylum seeker, and the two main journalists - the repellent John Leydon, and his rival Albert Norman.
An excellent treatment of this controversial topic.
