A terrorist attack on Parliament plunges the country on to a destructive path.
Jim just wants his discharge from the Army and return to his life in academia.
He returns from military service to find a country in chaos and a new regime bent on blaming everything on citizens with foreign heritage like him and his wife, Annabel.
She just wants to practise her music and live in a house in the country but with no-one lending to those with foreign heritage, the chance of building on the land they bought is impossible and it is confiscated by the new regime.
When they are evicted they find themselves and their daughter in a struggle for survival.
Can they survive long enough to witness the end of the regime or will they become victims of hatred?
Hatred is the first book in M J Dees' new dystopian series, Collapse.
