Orlando Kimber
FIGHTBACK
A pulsating novel set in modern-day Cornwall, where a desire to protect a cherished surf spot becomes a struggle between an individual and huge commercial interests.
COVER-UP
It’s 2015. A powerful new technology allows a scientist to surface anything with a diamond coating. An investigative journalist discovers both this breakthrough, and hidden tentacles of greed clutching at the heart of British life. He becomes trapped between huge corporations, as they close in on this source of unlimited wealth.
Great Fun. Imagine “Bait” meets “All The President’s Men” and you’ll get the idea.
Fiction or Reality? … This fictional book is the real-life struggle of so many village “fish and surf” communities.
If you love Cornwall and a bit of metropolitan intrigue, Orlando's novel ... makes a great read. It'd make a great TV series, too.
I enjoyed it very much. I can see it adapted as a Sunday night tv drama.The politics are very contemporary and I enjoyed the sense of menace from the powerful elites and their potential to control with Cambridge Analytica type data.
