'It is the ineluctable destiny of the peoples of Europe to be united under one single political entity' - J Monnet 'What can go wrong will' - P Murphy There are many hands seeking to guide the destiny of the European Union. Probably the least known and the most powerful is the secretive and profoundly manipulative Policy Evaluation Unit (PEU). Headed by the ambitious and ruthless Frenchman Valery Montaigne, and staffed by some of Europe's finest brains, the function of the PEU is to build the route map by which the European Union will be made to reach its long sought after utopia of peace and boundless prosperity. OUT OF EUROPE follows the blundering machinations and twisted logic of the PEU as it drags Europe, step by step, back into a dystopia of destruction and annihilation. Initially seeking to reconcile Europe's age-old nationalisms to a single state, the PEU is compelled to manipulate the rooted racism of its peoples to forge a common identity. Having triumphed over the forces of dissolution, the PEU realises its victory stands to be lost on the rising grey tide of a terminally ageing population. In desperation it finally stumbles into war as the only way of reinvigorating a geriatric and failing Europe. OUT OF EUROPE is a darkly cynical look at the technocratic project that is the European Union. It takes Europe's quest for peace and prosperity and shows how it can easily be inverted and perverted to place Europe back in the nightmare it is still seeking to flee from: fascism and war. SOME "IMPARTIAL" REVIEWS:'A brilliant parody of the delusions and pompous arrogance out of which Europe is being forged, underpinned by a forensic dissection of all its social, economic and demographic weaknesses and garnished with just the right amount of sex and violence. A must for Eurosceptics and anyone with enough mind not to be fooled by the tragic farce unfolding in Brussels.' - F Peters 'Brilliant.' - Author's girlfriend 'I hadn't realised his condition had deteriorated so rapidly.' - Author's Doctor |

ABOUT THE AUTHORPeter Franks was born in 1962. His personal history has given him an abiding interest in the politics of nationalism and identity. His early life was peripatetic and he learnt and unlearnt in quick succession how to speak English with an Australian, Canadian and Irish accent. Coming to reside in the Home Counties in his early teens he was relieved to learn that communication was best effected without any accent at all. Mr Franks went to art college where his limited talent was quickly spotted by himself. He studied history at university were he found it easy and an effective way of avoiding work. His fondness for Europe and the French in particular was born from a strip search by French customs whilst on holiday in his early twenties. Mr Franks continues to combine a passion for European travel with an abiding interest in cars. In the 90s he went on a 3,000-mile motoring holiday that went as far east as Bulgaria. He now travels to France regularly to enjoy that unique British motor racing institution, the Le Mans 24-hour race. Mr Franks has yet to learn to drive but is fortunate to know people who have. Mr Franks is unmarried and has a declining interest in cinema.
