Summary

British Prime Minister Gabriel Bryce lies injured in the hospital, a survivor of the car bomb that has wiped out his cabinet and thrown the country into chaos.

Elsewhere, another IED destroys Britain's biggest mosque, slaughtering hundreds. Framed for the atrocity, former soldier Danny Whelan goes on the run, now Europe's most wanted man.

The plot is underway, the target Britain itself.

As the dead are buried and a new government takes power, both Bryce and Whelan realize they have become pawns in a vast conspiracy, one that intends to crush a rebellious Britain and throw open the gates of Europe.

And if they are to survive the coup, Bryce and Whelan 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.

Gripping storyline excellent read

I love DC Alden’s writing. This is another great read. Exciting and believable storyline which kept me gripped throughout. I will now search for the next book I think that he has one coming out soon. I can not recommend this author enough.

A great read

I only wish there were more UK based Apocalypse stories. Reading about home makes it so much more real. Can't wait for my next DC Alden read.

Great novel makes you think about the world

Well read, great characters and a good story. Maybe a bit far fetched but in today's world anything is possible
Recommend this novel if you like alternative history.
