“Brexit has revealed the treachery of the British political class. This chilling thriller takes that betrayal so much further.”
The plot is underway. The target, Britain herself.
Prime Minister Gabriel Bryce lies injured in hospital, a lucky survivor of the assassination attempt that has thrown the country into chaos.
In Luton, another truck bomb destroys one of Europe’s biggest mosques, killing hundreds. The only suspect is Afghan veteran Danny Whelan, now hunted like a wild animal for a crime he did not commit.
As the dead are buried and a makeshift government seizes power, both Bryce and Whelan realise they have become marked men, expendable pawns in a vast conspiracy intended to crush a rebellious Britain and usher in a new era of European history.
If they are to survive the coup, they must stay one step ahead of their enemy, a ruthless new administration now determined to see them dead, and Europe transformed for all time.
