This one is a little bit different in tone for me. It's more of a slow burn adventure, a stranger in a strange land story in which a man returns to a country he thought he knew to find it changed beyond all recognition from the one he left.
As he travels in search of his wife, he learns how the oppressive regime came into power and what the secret of the shadowy police force known as the Hoods really is.
There are elements of Brexit in the UK shutting itself off from the rest of world, but that just provides the backdrop and isn't what the book is about. The book it about one man's journey to find that which is precious to him. That's a story I've wanted to write for a while and it's finally down and available on the kindle.
The full blurb is as follows:
"On V-Day, Great Britain removed itself from the world in an unprecedented act of isolationism. All foreign nationals were expelled and the borders were sealed. All trade stopped. All communications ceased. Anyone trying to leave by air was shot down by the RAF. Anyone trying to get in by sea was sunk by the Royal Navy. The Channel Tunnel was filled with concrete. The United Nations established an exclusion zone, preventing anyone from attempting to enter for their own protection.
Craig Benton, though, was not just anyone. Ex-special forces and trapped abroad whilst in deep undercover action, he is determined to evade the blockade, get into Britain and back to his wife, no matter what it takes.
What he finds on his return is a country greatly changed from the one he left, a country living in fear and ruled by a secret police force known only as the Hoods.
How was this possible? How could the home of modern democracy have fallen so low as to become a police state cut off from the rest of the world in self-imposed exile?
He was to find that the answer was much stranger than he could ever have guessed."
