The Churchill Conspiracy: The Other World

by James D.E. Macpherson

Overview

THE ULTIMATE CONSPIRACY THRILLER—this conspiracy is real. Spoken about by British prime ministers and American presidents, this conspiracy is reaching its deadly conclusion.

In 1920, Winston Churchill warned us of a "worldwide conspiracy to overthrow civilisation."

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy warned us of this same conspiracy: "We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy."

Regarding the same, J. Edgar Hoover, first director of the FBI, said, "The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists."

Can Detective-Inspector David Sharp of the United Kingdom's antiterrorist squad prevent this century-old conspiracy from coming to fruition before it's too late?

Blending action with highly guarded secrets, this book will shock readers and alter their perceptions of reality.

A British inspector unravels a chilling and dangerous global conspiracy in this debut thriller.

It’s the summer of 2005, and train bombings rock London. DI David Sharp of the anti-terrorist squad is on the case, which now includes an explosion on a double-decker bus. He spots discrepancies almost immediately—conflicting witness statements and amateur bomb makers using military-grade explosives. “There’s something not right about this investigation,” he says. Anonymous texts validate his speculation and point Sharp to the possibility of a worldwide conspiracy. It sounds crazy until the DI scours the internet and connects the London attacks with ones in other countries, like 9/11 and the Madrid train bombings. A mysterious figure comes forward and tells Sharp of a secret group operating for centuries that’s likely had its hands in wars, political assassinations, and myriad coverups. These powerful people have a sinister plan already cooking that will devastate the world population. Sharp vows to stop them, but as a proficient assassin in Britain takes out nosy individuals threatening the group, the DI may be next on the hit list. Macpherson’s series opener dives deep into the conspiracy, checking off the group’s trademarks—from media manipulation to hidden messages—and nodding to real-life tragedies, corporations, and political leaders. The story nevertheless moves at a steady pace; Sharp continuously stumbles on new mysteries; the cryptic baddies’ growing presence elevates suspense; and action ignites the final act. At the same time, the narrative perspective shifts in the latter half, most notably to the frighteningly calculated and lethal assassin in Britain. Ultimately, Sharp gets a strong hint regarding the group’s origin that he’s uncharacteristically slow to pick up on. It’s a curious turn that may push the series to another genre, though Macpherson keeps this entertaining book grounded in espionage terrain.

A superb, kinetic terrorist tale bursting with tension, paranoia, and malicious governments.
