Overview

A Political Thriller England has chosen revolution. Now it must live with the consequences. In a near-future Britain fractured by inequality and ideological fatigue, the charismatic Ben Baines sweeps to power on a wave of radical socialism. His promise is seductive: land reform, collective ownership, an end to corporate dominance. For millions, it feels like justice at last. For others, it is the beginning of war. Along the Anglo-Scottish border, where Scotland is now an independent state and England's authority thins by the mile, farming communities watch the new regime's policies arrive not as reform, but as force. When land seizures escalate into violence, one Northumbrian farmer, Nat Bell, refuses to yield. His defiance ignites a chain reaction the government cannot control. As civil unrest spreads, fault lines open within the regime itself. Baines, increasingly isolated, is trapped between his ideals and the ruthless machinery required to enforce them. His deputy, Lucas Dart, believes order must be imposed at any cost. Intelligence operatives, journalists, and covert power brokers circle, each pushing England closer to collapse. From Westminster offices to windswept hills, The Border Reiver is a chilling portrait of a nation tearing itself apart, not along simple lines of left and right, but between belief and brutality, loyalty and survival. Taut, intelligent, and unflinchingly political, The Border Reiver will appeal to readers of dystopian fiction and modern political thrillers who value moral complexity, grounded realism, and the terrifying plausibility of a future only a few steps from our own. Revolution is easy. Governing is not.
