‘Duet’ was written between 1980 and 82. It is divorced from its forerunner ‘Glue’ in style and content but there is a ‘geo-political’ element to both stories. The author regarded them both (and the final saga) as ‘speculative fiction’, by which he meant fiction set in the very near future, not ‘science fiction’. ‘Duet’s prophesy of American Football in the UK came true a year or two later, and Margaret Thatcher (as more recently, Tony Blair) made a partial reality of the Anglo-American pact that the character, Adrian Moorehead MP dreamt of.
