"Imagine that the future England of Frank Hampson's 1950s science fiction hero Dan Dare has become a little truer.
 
Aging Colonel Daniel MacGregor Dare has retired from his career in Space Fleet to live in rural retreat with his housekeeper, his memoirs & his painkillers.
 
His splendid isolation is uninterrupted until he attends the funeral of a friend & former Space Fleet nutritional scientist., Jocelyn Peabody, & encounters estranged colleague Albert Digby. Then a summons to meet Prime Minister & Unity Party leader, Gloria Monday draws Dare into a web of power & corruption that has enveloped the beloved England for which he always fought....
 
Morrison & Hughes rework the fabric of real & fictional past into a disturbingly familiar future which chillingly parallels life in present day Britain."
