The European Union is in tatters. In the back rooms of power, governments have requested help from the last surviving superpower, America. But things have started to go wrong. This is where Paul finds himself. Paul is you, or me, nothing special. Someone who one day got caught up in something bigger than anything he'd ever imagined. Now Paul is just trying to survive, protect his friends and hopefully do the right thing. Simple enough, but for Paul the right choice for him, might not be the right choice for anyone else. In a time where old alliances, long accepted national borders and political hegemony are entering a state of flux, The Special Relationship looks forwards to a world not far removed from our own. Take a glimpse through the looking glass, into a world none of us truly wish to experience, but perhaps secretly wonder whether we would survive. If your world was reversed, how would you react? If a friend was threatened by an old ally, which side would you choose? If one day you woke up and were the terrorist, what would you do?
