Stanley Johnsons is a brilliant satirical thriller that tells the story of 2016s seismic and unexpected political events on both sides of the Atlantic. The UK referendum on Britains membership of the EU was a political showdown the British PM, Jeremy Hartley, thought he couldnt lose. But the next morning both he and the whole of the rest of the country woke in a state of shock. America meanwhile has its own unlikely Presidential candidate, the brash showman Ronald Craig, a man that nobody thought could possibly gain office. Throw into the mix the cunning Russian President Igor Popov, with his plans to destabilise the west, and you have a brilliant alternative account of the events that end with Britains new PM attempting to seek her own mandate to deal with the Brexit related crisis and America welcoming its own new leader. Now in development for a major new TV series, is a fast-paced thriller from a true political insider, and who knows, it just might all be true!

AUTHORS NOTE

Kompromat is, to use an old-fashioned term, An Entertainment.

Although the book borrows from recent events, it is a very loose borrowing, being self-evidently a work of fiction and satire, and not a work of history an antidote to the maxim that truth is stranger than fiction. Readers of this novel should not conclude in any way that any living person misbehaved in the manner that some of the characters in the book regrettably seem to have done.
