Set  in the United Kingdom of the near future, this dystopian fiction book paints a grim picture of the British society under the strict Sharia rule.Bill, the main character, is a British soldier who chooses to stay in his home country over fleeing it, unlike many others. Barricaded in his home - the expression "The Englishman's home is his castle" acquires a new meaning in this story -- he's faced with multiple dangerous and life-threatening situations despite, or because of, his knowledge of Arabic and his traditional Muslim attire he wears as a disguise.For a long time, he feels alone and lonely. Then, he meets Joe, a British airline pilot, and that's when the story picks up the pace even more. A compelling, frightening, controversial and engaging book. Five stars.
