London has been bombed for the second time in two years, but this time the enemy is a lot closer to home. MI6 agent Paul Aston is sent to investigate, but nothing could have prepared him for the scenes of horror and devastation. The government blames MI6 for the catastrophe while MI6 blames the government, but the truth behind what the media are calling 18/8 is more chilling than anyone could have imagined. Slowly Aston tears away the layers of corruption, betrayal, and murder to reveal the culprit, someone with a deep seething hatred of MI6 who will stop at nothing until his vengeance is satisfied.
