State of Resistance

The second in a series of political and scientific thrillers featuring Mark Redstone and Laura Smith.

Britain has become an American colony

US President Turner Cardew promises to rescue Britain from an economic crash he engineered. But the UK sinks deeper into crisis as American troops occupy the country and a puppet government rules from Westminster.

No one can understand why Cardew seems intent on destroying Britain.

For scientist and entrepreneur Mark Redstone, the issue becomes personal when the regime’s top official uses her power to try to destroy his biotechnology company.

Redstone fights back. At his side are Laura Smith, a tough former MI5 officer, and Michelle Clarke, a world-leading AI expert. As the danger grows, his relationships with both women become increasingly important — and increasingly complicated.

Redstone is recruited into a clandestine resistance movement determined to restore Britain's independence. But when the group begins to uncover what lies behind the occupation, it discovers that the real source of power may not be where anyone imagined.

To save his company and his country, Redstone must take on a regime whose most dangerous secrets are still hidden.
