Sinopsis

Working class revolution in the twenty-first century...

The first novel in a spellbinding series about revolution in the twenty-first century.  Fifteen years ago, revolution swept across Europe. In Britain, Valeri Kovalenko’s mother and father died taking part, their revolution failing, but their deaths not to be in vain. Now, Valeri and the working class Britain face a crisis worse than anyone before them, with the rich freely looting and plundering the country’s wealth while the people live under the oppression of unemployment, violence, and death. But not all is lost. A new uprising is in the works, engineered by an alliance of forces far greater than any one man. Pushed to the brink of starvation, Valeri will join this uprising, by way of a sequence of events he'd never thought possible. Although Valeri doesn't realise it, the end of capitalism and the dawn of a new way of life is at hand.

In the working-class parts of London, there’s revolution in the offing again. After living for their whole lives in a world of poverty and despair, men like Valeri have been pushed until they have only one choice: rise!

Part future history, part warning on the folly of our times, Apocalypse Rising foretells a spectacular war not only on the battlefields of some foreign county but in the streets of our own cities, through crisis, terror, and a cataclysmic devastation the likes of which the world has never seen. Equal parts prophecy and premise, Apocalypse Rising is the first in a series of novels about a working class revolution to come.
