Synopsis
As the European bloc and the US play games of brinkmanship which bring them closer to war, Britain finds itself on the political fence. Recent policy binds it to the US but history and geography tend it towards Europe. A decision one way or another is becoming imperative. Unfortunately for Britain, not everyone is prepared to wait.

From Booklist
In a post-9/11 world just around the corner, attacks on American soil have been followed in horrific succession by a flu pandemic, war against Iran, and an escalating wave of executions throughout the world that are televised daily on a pirate channel. Now what is apparently a tactical nuclear weapon has been detonated on an American-occupied air base in Scotland. While conducting spying operations for French intelligence, British citizen James Travis immediately becomes a terror suspect, as does his daughter, peace activist Roisin, because of carrying illicit photos of the weapon before it exploded. A multilayered story line alternates Travis' efforts to evade UK authorities, Roisin's capture and interrogation, and a propaganda war between a clandestine disinformation team and a notorious Internet blogger seeking the truth hidden in a spiderweb of spin. A master of politically charged sf, MacLeod channels our contemporary preoccupation with terrorism into an engulfing stream of espionage and international intrigue. Although the occasional sf trope may baffle genre outsiders, McLeod's speculative thriller ought to grab political junkies and spy fiction buffs as well as his sf fans. Hays, Carl

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A first UK mass market paperback edition in good condition for its age. Some age tanning to pages . The covers are showing some signs of wear and there is a crease across the bottom left-hand corner of the rear cover. SYNOPSIS: "Fighting has spread across the Middle East and Central Asia. Images of official executions circulate on the Internet like al Qaeda videos. Stage agencies sponsor conspiracy theories as cover-ups. As US troops stand astride the last of the oil, China and Russia aren't the only countries considering their options: certain nations of Old Europe are quietly preparing for the worst. James Travis is a middle manager in a software company. He has a son in the army, a daughter in a peace protest camp outside a USAF base and a compromising relationship with a foreign intelligence service. When his cover is blown hours before a nuclear explosion destroys the base, the Travis family finds itself in serious trouble. Unable to tell friend from foe, Travis flees north through an England torn between the US and Europe. As the spooks and disinformation specialists focus their efforts on his capture, Travis knows that all it will take is one mistake and his only memorial will be another grainy video on.The Execution Channel.
