Rabbits Don't Make Deals

The United Kingdom is dead, swallowed by a superstate called the Union Federale. Ron Smith works as a technician until he becomes a whistle-blower. Hunted by thugs and police, he goes to ground among the underclass. What he needs is an ally inside the federocracy, someone he can trust.
Victor is a researcher working on the psychic phenomenon of past life memories. He is happy inside the Union Federale until a weird young man makes him curious. Why have they banned certain books and locked up a gentle old professor? Why does violence follow him when he tries to find out?
Helen works in a car hire office. She cares nothing for politics, and even less for a scruffy young man who is stalking her. But things can change and a girl can find herself getting involved. As for Sandy, a respectable woman with a daughter to bring up and her husband gone, she has problems enough already.
The all-powerful federocracy regards its citizens as rabbits. Ron is one in a billion. What can he do?
