The Raid of Dover: A Romance of the Reign of Woman, A.D. 1940

In a speculative 1940 England, the nation teeters on the brink of collapse as political upheaval, a swelling socialist movement, and a militant revolt of women threaten the very foundations of the empire. The story follows a brilliant, weary Member of Parliament who, after a debilitating session in the House of Commons, seeks refuge in the deserts of Egypt, hoping to regain his health and clarity. His journey through ancient lands and historic sites becomes a prelude to a larger, urgent summons back home, where the looming specter of a German fleet and the ominous “Raid of Dover” cast a dark shadow over the island nation.

Back in Britain, he discovers a country fractured by radical ideas and a desperate need for decisive action. As alliances shift and old loyalties are tested, the narrative weaves together political intrigue, daring aerial ventures, and the fierce determination of a people on the edge of revolution. Listeners are drawn into a tense, atmospheric portrait of a nation confronting its own internal and external enemies, all before the fateful raid unfolds.
