A rising tide of racial violence. England burns. One man dreams of being a superhero, and begins a terrifying journey of self discovery. A Darkening of Fortune is a dystopic near future novel, melding hard science fiction with elaborate crime thriller and action adventure.
“Joe — Yusef Iqbal, of Arab-Jewish extraction — has the chance to be a real life super hero, and end the violence at its source, but he quickly realises he's definitely not Ironman, Superman or Batman, when things don't quite work out the way they do in the movies. But is there something more sinister and deadly lurking behind the scenes? A real life super villain? No-one's clean. No-one's perfect. Everyone has a prejudice. And what price must Joe and the nation pay for victory, justice and peace?”
