The Rebellion for Democracy by Toby Heale

BY STEALTH, THROUGH WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION, ENGLAND IS BEING TURNED INTO A TOTALITARIANIST STATE.

Jack Palmer is one of the leaders of a London based rebellion to restore true democracy that gains popular support by declaring areas free from draconian laws and crippling taxes. Government reaction is ferocious, unleashing a new security service that operates without restraint, without control, without accountability.

Finding himself embroiled in combating treachery within his own organisation, Palmer has the added complication of falling for a woman who works in the government department at the hub of the crackdown.

The success of the crackdown hovers on a knife edge. The conspirators grabbing total power offer vast sums of money to tempt politicians and senior police officers to betray the people. They succeed in getting them to turn a blind eye to the brutal excesses of the security thugs.

The initial impetus of the rebellion, aided by subtle manipulation of the press, is imperilled by attempts on Palmer’s life and those of the rebellion leaders.

Fighting the whole state apparatus, struggling against betrayal, Jack Palmer finds subtle help that enables him to take the battle against dictatorship into the heart of the security forces.

But is it enough?
