Here’s the set-up for Toby Heale’s The Rebellion for Democracy, just $4.99 on Kindle:

By stealth, through wide spread corruption, England is being turned into a totalitarian State.

Jack Palmer is one of the leaders of a rebellion that gains popular support by declaring areas of the country free from draconian laws and crippling taxes. Government reaction is ferocious, unleashing a new security service that operates without restraint, without control, without accountability.

Finding himself embroiled in combating treachery within his own organization, Palmer has the added complication of falling for a woman who works in the Government department at the hub of the crackdown.

The success of the rebellion hovers on a knife edge. The schemers grabbing total power offer vast sums of money to tempt politicians and senior police officers to betray the people. They succeed in getting them to turn a blind eye to the brutal excesses of the security thugs.

The initial impetus of the rebellion, aided by subtle manipulation of the press and television coverage, is imperilled by attempts on Palmer’s life and those of the other rebellion leaders.

Fighting the whole State apparatus, struggling against betrayal from within, Jack Palmer takes the battle against dictatorship to the heart of the security forces, compelled to employ tactics as dangerous to democracy as those of the plotters who seek absolute power.

From the reviewers:

… a  truly riveting account of one man’s struggle to procure democracy for his nation, a pursuit that rapidly changes from one of youthful idealism to a suspenseful and dangerous minefield in which tensions are high. It is one part thriller and one part political critique, combining into one completely compelling whole.  –  bwbatlarge

Overall, the book is thrilling and forces the audience to ask penetrating questions about the state of their own government. Rarely does a book incorporate an intriguing and entertaining plot fused with relevant political material ripe for discussion. A wizard of his craft, Toby Heale has surprises stored for his audience at every turn, making Rebellion for Democracy an irresistible and highly recommended read.   –  Mike Swan

With all that is going on in the economy worldwide, it was quite interesting reading this e-book, The Rebellion for Democracy. It was actually quite scary, that if we don’t watch what is going on in our government, how quickly things can change and “we the people” can lose our freedoms. Just in the first couple pages this jumped out at me!   –  L. VanderStel

Toby Heale is an expatriate English nomad. His background is the financial world where he started his career as a jobber in gilt-edge securities in the ‘old’ Stock Market in London. Later, he became a broker in the Far Eastern and Emerging Markets. From 1989 was based in Hong Kong where he started and ran his own business.

In 2003 he began his first book, a polemic: ‘Corruption-Absolutely!’ (ISBN978-1-904863-47-2)  that was published by the Social Affairs Unit in London in 2009. In the book he reserves the heart of corruption in Europe for the European Court of Human Rights, because it wrote its own mandate and it is answerable to no one. Therefore, it has absolute power and as Lord Acton said: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Now the E.U talks of; “moving towards a human rights based governance.” That leaves no meaningful place for democracy or its principles, let alone free choice or free speech.

He runs the website http://www.savethefreesociety.org/ which warns that is to be the fate of Europeans to become subjects and not citizens unless democracy is preserved there. He regards the website and the articles he writes as examples of free speech, an essential ingredient of the free society. He absolutely does not accept the E.U. proposition that it is a service. The E.U. wishes to categorise all such websites as services so that they can be regulated. If anyone fails to translate the word: regulated into the word censored, then they are not awake to the seriousness of the problem.

The Rebellion for Democracy (formerly called: A Very English Rebellion) is his first novel. It is designed primarily to be an enjoyable holiday read because it is still ahead of its time.
