Milan

A transgression against the natural rights of Deaf people to use and develop sign language - the infamous Milan 1880 Revolution - has created a turbulent legacy which exerts its influence to this day. There would never again be another Milan 1880. Or, so we thought... As the story begins, an unknown force calling itself MILAN inexplicably transforms the entire British Deaf people into hearing people, and sign language is reduced to near extinction. Two of the Deaf survivors, JOHN McCALVIN and his ladyfriend, DAWN WINTERS, soon find themselves in fear of Milan's three hunters, led by the notorious female villain, REDLIPS. Dawn is captured by the hunters whilst John and the mysterious RICHARD COX, who has a 'personal issue' with Redlips, conspire to search for, and retrieve the Talisman of Signs, sought also by Milan. John discovers that he is "The One" to use the Talisman's power to destroy Milan before it achieves world domination with the destruction of Deaf people, sign language and also a mystical place which exists in closely-guarded secret. The battle to save them is on... MILAN is an exciting and sprawling Deaf fantasy epic, written out of an alarming and key chapter of Deaf history. It has been written in a Deaf-friendly way that is accessible to everyone, Deaf or hearing, and of most ages. A VISUAL GLOSSARY is included to illlustrate key characters, architectural features and plan views. For more information please visit: www.milan1880.com
