Book description
May 2nd 2045. Lestoq,an overweight,asthmatic,Fellow of All Souls
College,Oxford,working for the Times,wakes up with a hangover and the
sexiest secret policewoman in Europol. In the course of the next week he
discovers that Aachen Referendum which ratified the Aachen Treaty of
Complete Union and thus createdthe European superstate thirty years
before,was rigged by a conspiracy within the European Commission. The
Union is now xenophobic,corrupt and tyrannical. The royal family left
Britain in 2016,and King William V of New Zealand is returning to London
to make a speech commemorating the 100th anniversary of VE day. Lestoq
has to get evidence of the referendum rigging-the Aachen Memorandum-to
the king for him to tell the world in a huge rally at Hyde Park. No easy
task,as a dark family secret,a murdered father and meetings with the
English Resistance Movement are only a few of the obstacles which stand
in his way...
