Reviews'This novel, a convoluted thriller with nods to Brave New World and Orwell's 1984, gives a Nostradamus-like prediction of the rise of the Right in the Britain of the not-too-distant future. After a coup, life in Britain has changed beyond recognition. Fear and intimidation reigns. The only law is meted out by the New Dawn security force. The only citizens that prosper are the lickspittle followers of the facist regime. Corruption is widespread, especially amongst the new political elite. Two young journalists, Suze and Jake, bent on reporting political corruption on their pirate website find themselves attacked by New Dawn security force. Barely escaping death in a raid on their secret headquarters they set out to discover exactly why they have been so murderously targeted. Their journey of discovery is a long and winding trail along which they not only meet horrors they couldn't imagine, but allies that share their hatred of the new regime. Gripping from the outset, To Retribution, is a fast paced narrative which leads its youthful protagonists into the very heart of a truly evil conspiracy. A definite page turner.' Bookmuseuk 'Having spent most of my adult life living in places where freedom was limited for many years, I found it remarkably easy to become immersed in the scenario. This time, however, the action takes place in the future and the novel is set in Britain, which led to a certain uneasiness as the story unfolded. I quickly warmed to the characters and became absorbed by the story. How would I have behaved in each scenario? I could not wait to keep reading to find out what would happen. Fast-paced and very relevant to our world of corruption and political intrigue, this story is a fantastic debut covering social and ethical issues in such a way that compels you to keep reading.' Hannah Shipman 'A brilliant book that really got me thinking about what could potentially happen at some point in the future, and that is a disturbing thought indeed and given all the uncertainty at the moment it is all the more worrying and real. All of the characters are believable and well thought out and their various purpose's within the plot are not predictable or dull. I read this at every available opportunity and truly enjoyed it, as it has the right mixture of what is needed for a good read and is written it such a way that I was immersed in the world created by the author. Highly recommended.' Baattyaboutbooks 'Fast paced. Intriguing and unexpected. Not a wasted, or waffley word in it. Enjoyed the read from start to finish. I fully recommend to anyone with a functioning moral compass, an interest in corruption and conspiracy, or reading thrillers.' Haribo Mack 'I had to stay up until it was finished! A frightening warning of what can happen if people accept the politics of fear. The story twists and turns and you never know who to trust. Thoroughly recommended.' PHILLIP J LAI-FANG 'I couldn't put this book down!! A tense thriller, fast paced, but the characters had a depth to them. I was constantly trying to second guess where the plot would go next, and was constantly proved wrong!! A great read, that I'm still thinking and talking about a week later (always a sign of a good book!!).' Joy Velkorodnyy 'This is a fast paced political thriller set in a potentially not too future Britain. I found it compulsive reading & was engrossed to find out what happens to the principal characters who are portrayed with insight & empathy. The story covers a number of contemporary social & political issues set in an all too possible near future scenario. A riveting read from an exciting new author.' Keith Simpson

SynopsisThe 2020's. A surge to the far right across Europe followed by political instability. In Britain this led to riots, racial tension, repatriations, a take over by the military and a coup. Suze is being targeted by New Dawn security forces. The chase is extreme, brutal and she fights for her life. But her enemy is closer than she thinks. Much closer, Suze, an idealistic young journalist, is used to hiding as her cell tries to keep their online news channel open. They publish the truth about the repatriations, the re-education camps, the corruption, the deceipt. New Dawn, the feared security force, is closing in, yet again. Suze runs, yet again. This time, however, she is pursued with a relentlessness; a brutality which seems far too extreme for her 'crimes'. This is more. This is personal. When her death is finally confirmed, he is celebrating it. Big mistake. Retribution will be hers!, A LOVE STORY SET IN TIMES OF TURMOIL The military is in control. Tight control. Media is censored, movement restricted. There are re-education camps for trouble makers, repatriation camps for non-nationals. Jake, Brian and Suze, three idealistic young journalists, are used to hiding as they try to keep their online news channel open. They publish the truth about the repatriations, the corruption and the deceit. New Dawn, the feared security force, is closing in yet again. The trio run, yet again. This time, however, they are pursued with a relentlessness, a brutality which seems far too extreme for their 'crimes.' A trail of death is left in their wake as they try to escape New Dawn and find out what, or who, is really behind this hunt. They are drawn into a web of human trafficking, child abuse and murder. Only it's closer than they think. Much closer. Who would you trust when there's no going back?
