2000s: Can Dan survive long enough to prevent a nuclear disaster on British soil?
Dan Taylor has survived two attempts on his life. The rest of his team are missing, and now a terrorist group has stolen a radioactive isotope from a top secret government project.
Can Dan survive long enough to prevent a nuclear disaster on British soil?
With the Prime Minister determined to re-negotiate the country’s place in the European Union, and deals being struck behind closed doors, Dan stumbles across a plot that will shake the country to its core.
If his mission fails, his enemies will overthrow the British government, and Dan will be a wanted man.
If he wants to succeed, he’ll have to sacrifice everything.
This is a novel of high stakes games being played in tense and far away locations – and the key to everything appears to buried deep at the heart of the British government.
The London and government ‘scenes’ are particularly apt and relevant since for most of this novel there are serious tensions about the UK’s involvement in the European Union. There’s lots of things going on underground – both regarding the secrets and underground in the sense that there are so many tunnels from one government site to another in the capital!
It’s up in Northumberland that the novel really tamps up the tension when something is stolen from a fracking site. There’s a problem with fracking in many rural areas so this too gives an insight into local and rural issues linked to central government plans.
There are also links to Eastern Europe although this is vague – threatening however! And in the background the fear and tensions of the EU.
