About this audiobook
British Prime Minister Gabriel Bryce lies injured in hospital, a lucky survivor of the assassination attempt that has killed most of his Cabinet and thrown the country into social and political chaos.
On the outskirts of London, a truck bomb destroys Britain’s biggest mosque, killing hundreds. Framed for the atrocity, ex-soldier Danny Whelan is forced to go on the run as he becomes Europe’s most wanted man.
As the dead are buried and a makeshift government seizes power, both Bryce and Whelan realise they have become 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, the fugitives must stay one step ahead of their enemies, led by a ruthless British politician determined to see them both dead...
And Britain transformed for all time.
“Brexit has revealed the treachery of the British political class. This chilling thriller takes that betrayal much further.”
