Break Point — Michael Shea

Britain is on the brink of collapse: law and order has broken down; extremist vigilante gangs loyal to the Commander and the Brother roam the streets; food is scarce; the Government is helpless; no one is safe. Into this bleak and violent world comes Max Gregory, the head of a renowned US think tank, with a brief to analyse Britain's problems and to find solutions. Fired by the death of his brother (kicked to death by thugs before his eyes) and his concern for a country in which he grew up, Gregory takes up the challenge. But as he unravels the nature of Britain's unrest and the extent of American involvement in it, he becomes a prime target and, it seems, an inevitable victim.
