The plot centers around a mysterious man who is often drunk. Despite his drunkenness, he fights well. He is beset by ruling forces and an evil presence though he doesn't understand why. Gradually he is exposed as a former elite warrior and the evil presence is exposed as an alien entity who has subverted the ruling class. At the end of the novel, their world is revealed to be a very limited physical construct.

Probably published around the year 2000 (loosely) and was read about 5 years ago in paperback form. It was about 200 pages, so not a large novel. The author is British, male and this is (or was) his only book.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
