With a United States of Europe looming the royal family is in hiding. Britain is at war and hours away from a history defining defeat. What one man knows could reverse everything but he is cut off from the world. Ark MacIntyre is on a secret mission to uncover details of a recent assassination. He doesn't know that there is a deeper reason for his assignment. What he discovers would astonish his employers and the whole world - if only he could tell them. The sovereignty of Great Britain is crumbling at the feet of a corrupt European Union and Macca is on the run - trapped in the Welsh mountains during the worst winter for decades. His only company; the enemy intent on destroying him, his guile, and a bottle of vodka.
