The New Europeans (Tales of MI7, #8) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

"In a field crowded with disappointing tomes, what a pleasure it was to read The New Europeans (John Mordred Book 5), and be introduced to something exceptional and quintessentially British! An absolutely unputdownable book." - Emerald Book Reviews "John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget!" - The Booklife Review The longstanding liberal consensus in Europe seems to be breaking down, and no one quite knows what will replace it. The British referendum on EU membership - whatever its outcome - may be just the beginning of a radical change across the continent. And as always, there are those who foresee enough to be dangerous. In the course of investigating the disappearance of a prominent Eurosceptic MP, MI7 agent John Mordred finds himself under hostile scrutiny from obscure forces within his own organisation. It quickly turns out that his investigation and theirs may not be mutually exclusive. And the stakes are high enough to make him dispensable. Meanwhile, behind all the interminable corridors, blind alleys and false leads, darker forces are beginning to emerge in society generally. And they're backed by some of history's most notorious spectres. Set (and written) in the run-up to the 2016 UK referendum on EU membership, The New Europeans deals with the shifting global power-balance in the second decade of the 21st century. The New Europeans. Shadowy, ruthless, and coming soon to a country near you.

Autor

James Ward lives and works in southern England and has been married for over forty years. He has two grown-up boys. His hobbies include walking with his dog in the countryside, visiting charity shops, and reading. He writes fiction, philosophy and poetry, and publishes under the "Cool Millennium Books" imprint (which he hopes one day to broaden to include other authors, and which has its own website). He has over 40,000 followers on TikTok, where he regularly posts videos about serious literature. He can also be found on YouTube.

His most ambitious project, the Tales of MI7 series, was written between 2010 and 2020. It consists of eighteen self-contained novels, set in contemporary London and linked by characters and timeline. It was never intended to be a "series" in the sense of a continuous narrative across different volumes; rather, readers can enjoy any one book without having read the others. All examine the major political, social, international and moral concerns of the second decade of the 21st century. Each individual volume - with the exception of Our Woman in Jamaica - was written contemporaneously with the year in which it was set.

Beginning in 2025 with Firearms & the Fortress, he intends to re-focus his energies on producing philosophical texts intended to throw light on the contemporary world (His 21st Century Philosophy and A New Theory of Justice were both produced over a decade ago). He has an MA and a DPhil in Philosophy, both from the University of Sussex.
