Plumber as a character in a book.

Hello there to everyone, As bizarre as this may appear, I am looking for a book which (main/secondary) character is a PLUMBER. Do you know any? Thanks in advance Vero. |

In the Philip K Dick novel �Martian Time-slip �, one of the main characters (Arnie Knott) is an ex-plumber who is the Head of a plumbers � Union. He �s one of the bad guys, manipulating people on a water-starved world. It �s a great book, but not an easy read, being cultish sci-fi, and PKD is not a writer that appeals to a lot of people (although the films are popular after they changed his endings). Not great ESL material in my honest opinion, but perhaps that �s just what you want. |

Hello, thanks a lot. I have also found Space Plumber by Gardner, it looks like Plumbers are a recurrent character in Sci-fiction.  However I will take a look to your recomendation. Again, thanks a lot. Hugs Vero |
