Synopsis

The Saxon Games is an ultra-modern political and military thriller which describes how social media and fake news come close to destroying a group of tough special forces operatives. At first, everything appears to be going right for the hero, John Saxon. No longer in disgrace and about to be reinstated in MI6, Saxon is celebrating with the group of his Special Forces friends, known as The Saxon Network, who have helped him clear his name and foil a bio-terrorist attack on London. They are in Weymouth to party, while Saxon’s girlfriend, American yachtswoman, Kate Allison, covers the sailing Olympic Games. Saxon’s vicious enemy, Washington financial crook, Ray Vossler, the cause of all his troubles, is in prison awaiting trial for masterminding the terrorist attack. But Vossler has found a new and very modern way to try to save his skin. He manipulates the internet and social media and uses fake news to engulf the Network in lies and fabrications about sex, cowardice and betrayal which bring their careers and reputations to the brink of ruin. But these are men and women who don’t take to being outmanoeuvred. They learn to survive in this new style of virtual battle and finally push Vossler into confronting them in the kind of fight they understand.
