Ex-Transmitter Edwin Cooper and disgraced Air Corps pilot Nell Sykes are on the run.
The previously magnificent Institute of Thinkery is no longer incredible. It is struggling to recover from a debilitating attack and it needs a name to blame. Therefore...
"Cooper will do"
With the help of a young man met in a dark bar, Edwin and Nell flee to the small Scottish island of Lismore, home of money-hungry entrepreneur Keith McInnes. It is here, under McInnes's wing, that they dare to love, live and hope. But The Institute is not done. It is rebuilding The Network, and throwing all it has at finding Cooper with only one fate in mind.
Threads of love, betrayal, fear and grief are woven into a disturbingly simple question.
Can they survive?
