About this ebook

Padraig O'Leary sets off on a journey to Scotland with his young family hoping to find a new start in a community with long traditional ties with his homeland - Ireland. A few miles south of Berwick-on-Tweed he is stopped for speeding by a Police Traffic Unit. The brief encounter with Sgt. Eric Burstow is explosive and ends with 17 people killed and hundreds injured and places Padraig on a learning curve. Transported into an international conspiracy involving islamaphobia Padraig becomes aware that it is yet another tool used by the USA to justify its desire for a global empire with a difference: via the United Nations organisation the international community legalises the birth of the Fourth Reich
