Economic and political stagnation, together with a growing people's protest movement, is destroying it from the ground upwards.

But elsewhere, a very concerned group of senior East German loyalists do and have a plan to stop the decline into anarchy and the probable West German takeover that would follow. 'Preparation for Day X', a decades old document, is their fallback, known only to the trusted few and unbeknown to them an East German feeding sensitive information to the British. Can Brixmis Lieutenant Alex Murray prevent his spy, the allied military missions and 26,000 targeted East German civil rights protesters going up in the flames of a German civil war?
