Violent, psychological and shocking, yet packed with engaging dialogue and dark humour.

​Centenarian explores a foreseeable future through the eyes of one man, Frank Washington. Written in a style which places the reader inside the mind of the main character, the author purposely sets out to draw you into a life that's rapidly spiralling out of control.

About the author

​David J Platt hails from North West England and still lives there. He has a varied background in engineering, transport, social work, hospitality and retail. His interests include science, politics and history.

Now semi-retired, with time to write and a lifetime of experience to draw on, he’s setting sail on the sea of literature; it’s a voyage that’s been beckoning for many years.

Characters and dialogues are David’s passion and his debut novel, Centenarian, has them in spades; sprinkled with a liberal helping of twists and turns and set in a future that’s almost upon us, it’ll intrigue and shock you but most of all it’ll entertain you.

A second novel is in the early stages and will also explore the near future but with new characters and settings. It will feature a novel idea which has the potential to lend added depth to the story.
