ThornScope · Federation of Europe

Can Jonathan Beckett, an off the grid technical drop out, stop a UK secret movement from achieving its ultimate aim?

*Gripping throughout. ThornScope is a fast-paced technological thriller that has you turning pages as fast as you eat popcorn in the cinema. The main characters are well crafted and keep away from the one dimensional stereotypes that have given the genre a bad name. The plot is full of twists and turns to the point where you struggle to keep track of who is the hero and who is the enemy. **ThornScope is the best book that I have read for a long time and should be considered on a level with Colin Forbes and Tom Clancy at their best.***

**Jonathan Beckett** is the coding genius behind the United Kingdom's world leading surveillance and security net, ThornScope. A platform protecting the national interests from enemies of the state, hackers, terrorists, friends or foes. But those in power wanted more including stripping away the privacy rights of its citizens ThornScope protected. The government wanted control. No guns, no warfare, just absolute totalitarianism through public and business reliance on the need for day-to-day technology.

**So Beckett dropped off the grid, disappeared to protect his source code and security protocols that prevented absolute Big Brother surveillance.**

**David Strickland**, the onetime British Prime Minister and Beckett's nemesis, has other plans. For the last two years the country has been negotiating its withdrawal from the European Union and Strickland is convinced the country is being undermined at every diplomatic turn. He is convinced the faceless bureaucrats threaten the core of the UK as a sovereign state. His plan is simple. If a Federation of Europe can't be stopped, using the technology the United Kingdom has, he will create a Federation dominated, led and controlled by the British.

**There is one part of the plan missing - Jonathan Beckett...**
