|summary=Future speculative novel in which Britain (now the UIA) is an atheist, rationalist society while the rest of the world retains religion. When a UIA citizen publicly espouses religion, they are deported - expaled - to the religious zones, known as the BTP or Beyond The Pale. But what happens when you want to get someone back from the BTP? A rollercoaster of a thriller, that's what.

|buy=Yes
''Gliding with Black Swans'' (clever title!) gives pause for thought about religion and rationalism, sectarian strife, the availability of knowledge to all and the use of propaganda, all tied into the overriding theme of how to achieve global and environmental sustainability. There's a pretty good thriller inside it, too, making for a thoroughly enjoyable read.
