As Europe grapples with the consequences of austerity, this novel poses questions both about the lost chances of 1989, and about how we organise our society-questions that are becoming more relevant with each passing day.' Fiona Rintoul, author of The Leipzig Affair 'An authentic atmosphere of tension and uncertainty ... The brilliance of Stealing the Future lies in the honest portrayal of a young country and its idealistic inhabitants struggling to keep alive their dream of freedom, justice and equality in the face of international and domestic opposition.' Jo Lateu, New Internationalist 'An intriguing and gripping page-turner of a thriller-believable and exciting. More than that, though, it's an exploration of power-political, economic and electric power; and what it might be like, day to day, to put our ideals and hopes for self-determination into practice.'
