Malcolm Jaggard is a spy catcher, and a servant of the politicians.

Then the Ashtons’ comfortable world is suddenly shattered, and Malcolm is ordered by his politician bosses to protect Ashton. But who is George Ashton? And how do you protect a man who has just disappeared?
Malcolm needs more knowledge, and he can’t get it. So he fights for it. But knowledge is a power, and servants must not have any power.

But he also has found himself in the long-running war between scientists and politicians – a war where ‘We have met the enemies, and they have met us.’
