  For three years Prime Minister Paul Sinclair has been riding high but suddenly his world is in danger of falling apart. His MPs are in rebellion, his deputy is after his job, his security advisers are running rings around him, his teenage son is dating older women on the Internet and his wife is seeing another man. No wonder he's tempted to throw in the towel. Time and Fate is political satire at its best. The action takes place in the near future. Paul Sinclair moves into Number Ten when the long-serving Labour Prime Minister finally stands down. King Charles III is now on the throne and the British people are spending euros not pounds. And yet, in many ways, little seems to have changed. Written by someone who has been there, Time and Fate reveals what life is really like at the top of British politics. It combines an insider's view of 10 Downing Street with a cast of characters that includes ruthless politicians, hard-drinking journalists, incompetent revolutionaries, drug dealers and prostitutes. It is a story of how power, principles and passions collide and it asks what happens when the man at the top says enough is enough.
