Schock!

Tina and Ollie discover that they have no cash in this cashless society even though they are wealthy. They find out that their village neighbours, in Torrequebrada, Spain are in the same situation.

Access to banking, water, fuel, electricity, news or anything that relies on computers has been abruptly halted.

It transpires that it's not just their village in Andalucia that's affected - it's the whole of Spain - and the West. Then people begin to realise why. A rumour spreads that the satellites and underwater internet cables have been attacked.
But by whom? Whoever it is now has complete control of their money.

Food and water are now the new currency, both in very short supply. In the UK this is a real problem - there is only enough food to support 30 million people for six months. The trouble is that the UK has a population of 80 million. The newly crowned King has the prospect of watching 50 million die.

Cities are now a concrete death trap and there's carnage in London, where the law no longer exists, and size once again matters. But needs must and the 10 million inhabitants embark upon a chaotic rampage across the countryside to find food.

Meanwhile, Ollie and Tina and their 'tribe' of 40 families, with the only water well in the area, are being eyed up by the 200 inhabitants of the mountain village, Mijas. The pretty tourist destination now harbours a new menace. The starving and thirsty Mijasians.

Do you think this sounds like fiction? Think again!
