Exmoor Beneath The Landscape

The adventures of a young geologist specialising in the detection of Copper minerals. Employed by an established British company, involved in prospecting for many years, his career moves between international exploration, regional investigation and overseas conferences. Disasters and near disasters impact his life. His focus moves to Exmoor and the identification of rare earth minerals. The ones highly valued for advanced modern technologies. He realises the need to expand his knowledge of these recently discovered elements, particularly how they can be extracted from their source minerals. The future of Britain’s advanced industries are heavily dependent on the unusual metals and their amazing properties.
Interaction with all manner of characters leads him to come across badly conceived science projects and constructed secrecy. Trying to juggle his love life with professional responsibilities conjures up a balance between marital stability and exciting opportunities. The story follows a chronology through his mid-twenties. The underground world is hidden from the lives of many people but it provides suitable cover for irregular activities, and very big money.
