Agents at GCHQ get a surprise when they discover the source of a devastating cyber-attack.

Henry Morcombe and his GCHQ team discover some unpalatable truths as they get to the source of a devastating cyber-attack on the UK electricity network.

Following a fiendishly complex cyber-attack on the UK electricity system, hospitals, food distribution, communications systems and transport networks are thrown into disarray. Lives are at risk while GCHQ agents attempt to contain the virus.

As Henry Morcombe and his team get close to the source of the attack, their suspicions fall on a most unlikely source and they now have to deal with a very inconvenient truth.
