Time of Lies

A darkly comic political thriller set in a terrifyingly believable post-Brexit Britain.
In 2020, the United Kingdom elects its own Donald Trump. Bob Grant, former football hooligan, sweeps to power on a populist tide. With his itchy finger hovering over the nuclear trigger, Bob presides over a brave new Britain where armed drones fill the skies and foreigners are vilified.

Meanwhile, Bob's under-achieving, Guardian-reading brother Zack gets a tap on the shoulder from a shady Whitehall mandarin. A daring plot is afoot to defy the will of the people and unseat the increasingly unstable PM. Can Zack stop his brother before he launches a nuclear strike on Belgium? A darkly comic political thriller for readers of dystopian fiction and British satire.
