About this listen

A shattered government. A framed soldier. A nation on the brink.

After a devastating bombing rocks Whitehall, British Prime Minister Gabriel Bryce awakens in hospital—injured, disoriented, and one of the few Cabinet members left alive. As the country descends into chaos, another explosion rips through Britain's largest mosque, killing hundreds.

The perfect scapegoat? Danny Whelan, an Afghan war veteran with a murky past—now Europe's most wanted man.

But nothing about the attacks is what it seems. As a new government rises from the ashes, Bryce and Whelan find themselves unlikely allies on the run, uncovering a chilling conspiracy engineered to dismantle British sovereignty and throw open Europe's borders—by force.

Their enemy: a ruthless British politician with global ambitions and nothing left to lose.

The coup has already begun. To stop it, they'll have to risk everything—including their lives.

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.

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.

Great novel makes you think about the world

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.

A great read
