Taliban UK

This engrossing alternative history novel, 'Taliban UK', is a remarkable imaginative feat. A young Christian man is murdered by his Muslim girlfriend's father that leads to a manhunt and trial at the Old Bailey where he receives a long prison sentence.
The head of the new Middle Eastern state of Qarrini issues threats for his release and launches two devices, one of which kills the Royal family but not a love child. The country is taken over by the Taliban and members of the government are taken into captivity.
The new Taliban UK republic is run by an English Taliban quisling who divides the country into communes, the heterosexual half and the gay half. Show trials are arranged as Christianity has been banned and those who are found are executed. One of the aspiring members on his way back from the local headquarters by car sees a US aircraft crash nearby that is dropping off munitions by parachute for local insurgents. Teaming up with one of the Americans, they escape from the commune and meet up with the insurgents and journey to London where they meet up with other insurgents and the Royal love child. They are rescued by US forces patrolling in the high seas and escape.
