BOOK 3 of the New America Series
The Sun Sets on the West is a gripping geopolitical thriller that plunges readers into the terrifying collapse of Western democracy.
In the United States, a bitter civil war has fractured the nation as rival politicians, rogue military generals, and citizen militias battle for ultimate control. Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom’s democratic institutions have been silently dismantled. General elections are indefinitely suspended, replaced by rigged online referendums, and a shadowy cabal known as the Order of Boudica secretly pulls the strings of a corrupt puppet government.
Ambitious BBC political reporter Jane Clark finds herself dragged into the dark heart of this new authoritarian regime. Blackmailed with a compromising video by the lecherous politician Selwyn Letchford, Jane is forced to become the glamorous face of the state’s propaganda machine. As she sacrifices her integrity and alienates the people she loves most, Jane must decide whether to remain a highly-paid pawn or risk her life to destroy the corrupt system from within.
Meanwhile, in a rebellious Scotland, Jane’s brother, Duncan, endures his own horrific nightmare. Framed for a brutal murder and mercilessly tortured in a police cell by the regime’s thuggish enforcers, the Edinburgh lawyer refuses to be broken. Upon his violent rescue, Duncan helps establish an underground resistance network. Aided by a rogue police superintendent and a journalist who faked his own death to broadcast as the defiant “ghost” of Radio Free Edinburgh, Duncan sparks a desperate fight against the military forces occupying his homeland.
The geopolitical chessboard turns deadly when Russian forces occupy the Orkney Islands, leading to violent local uprisings and a catastrophic nuclear submarine blast that threatens the entire globe. With AI deepfake scandals ruining lives, ruthless assassins stalking the streets, and the threat of total annihilation looming, the characters must navigate a terrifying web of espionage and betrayal.
