Mindful

Mindful, a new limited edition political thriller from new author alex:g, is a high concept project, tapping into the growing public unrest towards the current political system. It is a novel that reveals what happens when ‘firebrands’ challenge the status quo, combining political commentary with a central premise at the frontiers of quantum mechanics.
“I firmly believe that we have been lied to about almost everything by the mainstream media,” the author explains. “If these ‘dirty secrets’ were ever to come out, a revolution would be inevitable, but it can also be made peaceful if the right people stand up and take responsibility. I was inspired to take a fictional route to encourage people to do their own research and investigate why people believe in conspiracies, uncovering the evidence themselves.”
Set in the day after tomorrow, Mindful begins as a new political party comes into power out of nowhere. The party has made enemies of the rich and powerful, perhaps even royalty, but Ray Grady, a former talk show icon, has the charisma to lead this new force to the House of Commons and stop the nation descending into anarchy. There’s just one minor complication: Ray has just been assassinated, and all hell is about to break loose if the public finds out…
