Then, last week through the Internet, I got to see how S1407 had fared. I expected it had failed in committee, never to reappear again...
...like a metallic beast as Bernard Herrman's eerie score beats to a crescendo. A close-up of Travis's wide-open eyes reflects the gaudy neon lights of 42nd Street porn shops, as he absorbs the world about him for a fare. At times, his passivity seems to reappear in his actions.

Should BETA spot a signal that seems to meet the programmed criteria for artificiality, the radio telescope would abandon its fixed position and automatically leapfrog farther west so that the same sector of sky would pass before it again.

What else could we expect? Esme Barron and Conor Gilmartin, as well as Hugh McWearie, reappear from Davies' last novel, Murther and Walking Spirits; old Dunstan Ramsey steps out of The Deptford Trilogy for rather a lengthy visit, joined as well by his friend Boy Stanton (referred to in passing and not named, though the description matches the sugar baron), and we visit Salterton, site of Davies' first...
