State Sponsored Terror

by David Carter

In a small Hampshire town teenager Adam Goodchild witnesses his mother’s brutal murder, shot dead by security police in the back garden of their cute cottage, an event that will one day return to haunt the government itself.

Adam goes on the run and discovers he isn’t alone, for there’s a whole underclass of malcontents out there with similar stories to tell.
“State Sponsored Terror” charts the course of Britain in the near future. There’s a new government in power, led by a charismatic leader who can do no wrong, winning election landslides, brought to power on the back of populist policies, savvy social media, and fake news.
This book is a political thriller set in Britain in the near future. A disturbing page-turning novel that will keep you interested to the very end.

About the author

I have been writing for longer than I care to remember, both fiction and non fiction, and started out by writing business articles and columns.

The reason I write is because I enjoy it. It is as simple as that. If other people happen to enjoy the results then that is a huge buzz, and a great encouragement to write some more!!

At the moment I am concentrating on my Chester based detective, Inspector Walter Darriteau, (see The Murder Diaries and The Sound of Sirens) and my philandering man, Gringo Greene - (see The Life and Loves of Gringo Greene) though the truth is that, like many other writers, I always have several projects under way at any one time.

Thank you for visiting my page and I hope you like at least some of my stuff.

Have fun,

David C.

Great Britain’s darkest hour in modern times has her under the crushing boot of a truly tyrannical, power-hungry woman Prime Minister. Those who join the National Party get special favors—usually, and powers over others—when it is convenient. The Party members do not hesitate to use every unlawful, evil, subversive tactic to weed out those who oppose them. These unwanted beings are charged with terrorism, plots against the government, or anything else to sway public opinion. By following particular individuals in the story, the reader learns the extent of the evil faction of the government and the justifiable rising opposition.
David Carter writes a powerful, frightening story of just how possible this scenario really is! I will be reading more of his work.
