Can one man bring down the world's financial systems?
Glasgow 1977 - a young Trotskyite, Richard Slater, comes up with the idea that if he hid in deep cover until he was in a position of responsibility, he could unleash a devastating act of sabotage capable of starting a revolution. Party activists develop the plan - code name Zima and lie in wait…
London 2013 - Richard is in London, working for a financial software company. He has held onto the Zima plan all this time and has been signalling he can activate it. Is anyone listening? Have others stayed
true to the ideology?
The “suicide” of Richard’s work colleague shows British and Russian Intelligence have been listening and waiting too. Tension mounts as more players reveal themselves and the battle for power and control moves to Moscow. As the coil of agents, misinformation and mind control experiments connected to Zima unravel - where do allegiances lie? Can Richard trust anyone - even himself?
Can MI9 stop a catastrophic act of sabotage on the banking system? Will the revolution succeed? Can Richard uncover the TRUTH and save himself?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2020
A simply sublime political thriller. I don’t usually read this type of book but I was gripped from beginning to end. It’s themes of political turmoil, governmental conflict and cyber threats are fantastically explored. I felt both educated on world history, and utterly engrossed by every plot point of this excellently written book. A must read!
