Summary
After years of political instability, economic collapse, terrorist attacks, and civil unrest, a fundamentalist authoritarian movement called the Sons of Jacob seized control of the UK. Parliament was dissolved. The monarchy was abolished or forced into ceremonial exile. Britain was reorganised into a theocratic state much like their previously American counterpart; Gilead.
Women are stripped of legal autonomy and classified according to their reproductive status to combat the plague of infertility. Children are reassigned to more 'suitable' parents. Men are divided into rigid social classes.
The old British Armed Forces were dismantled and absorbed into the new regime.
Soldiers who survived the transition were given a choice: serve the new republic, or die.
Simon Riley chooses survival.
Under the new government, he becomes a Guardian—essentially military police tasked with enforcing the regime's laws. His combat experience makes him valuable.
Exceedingly cautious before the war, he'd hidden his status as a gay man, and now lives in fear of being discovered as a 'gender traitor', a crime punishable by death.
