1. Russia’s Web Brigades have created a divided West, but the European and the American intelligence services are getting wise to their tactics. When Stanislav Kuznetsov, the FSB’s Director of Overseas Strategic Affairs, entrusts a group of young idealists with the task of devising the next phase in the disruption of Russia’s enemies, little does he suspect that six weeks later, they’ll come up with a plan to suborn the British Broadcasting Corporation. His first reaction is mingled incredulity and exasperation. Have they taken leave of their senses?

But then he studies the details. And actually, it’s not as far-fetched as it looks. In fact it’s entirely workable.

When news of the plot reaches Britain, MI7 agent John Mordred is assigned to investigate. He quickly finds himself dealing with influential people in his own country who see the BBC as more than problematic, and who would dearly like to see it cut down to size.

Could they conceivably have a point? In a media-saturated age, what remains of the corporation’s historic remit to inform, educate and entertain? Is it still capable of living up to that lofty ideal, or is it not longer fit for purpose?
