A most interesting thriller with a very unique concept and plotline.The author is to be commended for a well written, highy literate, compelling tale which takes you around the world from Apartheid South Africa, to a ruined United Kingdom ruled by neo-fascists to a submarine in the Antarctic, and to Hong Kong and China. The book is also a tribute to Indie writers and shows many can produce relatively error-free and properly edited copy. I'm surprised a traditonal publisher hasn't picked this one up. Their loss.The Queen is dead, killed by an unruly mob. The fascists have taken over the UK, America has disappeared, and the Antarctic submarine is on a mysterious mission. Often unpredictable and a fascinating and entertaining story, this book by Mr. Fraser is a real page turner. There are compelling characterizations and good dialogue throughoutthe book and vengIt is highly intelligent, thought provoking futuristic literature.The only thing I didn't like about the book was the author's absence of conventional chapter breaks. It is one long document with periodic breaks where there is a change of setting. I found it a little disconcerting to read and it makes the reader work a little harder than he/she should have to. I prefer chapter breaks, makes it easier to put down the novel and pick up again later. But that's just my preference. Perhaps it doesn't bother other readers.A highly recommended read and the price is right.
