THE Conspiracy Theory! An evocative book centred around the 2005 London bombings (known as 7/7) involving a fictional Police officer with many true-life people and events. Unfortunately for me there are too many errors indicating a lack of research in particular to Police personnel and procedures at such a terrible time.. A great book for the conspiracy readers but not really for me.
My thanks to NetGally and Mascot Books for this advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Detective inspector David Sharp thinks it’s going to be a easy day at the office when the alarm goes off. This day of bombing will lead to an investigation in revelations that David short can’t even wrap his mind around. In a world of conspiracy theories and people who don’t trust the government what he learns will be a game changer. It will change everything he thought he knew. But who knows and how big is it is something he is intent on finding out. This book was so good and I thought so timely, with all the warnings we’ve had it’s amazing how some people still don’t believe it. Although this is a fiction book and seems to be well researched and put together in a readable way. I knew I was going to like this book and now I can’t wait for the second one. The Churchhill conspiracy is a book I highly recommend and get five stars to end it deserves everyone of them. You will not want to put this down. I was given this book by Matt Galli and the publisher and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Please forgive any grammar or punctuation errors as I am blind and dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.

The Churchill Conspiracy by James D. E. McPherson was a tremendous read that still has my mind moving on what I believe. This book is very engaging and I can't wait for the next one. When May 3rd hits make sure that purchasing this book is the first thing that you do. Thank you to NetGalley and Mascot Books for this advanced copy

I’m sure we all feel that our governments are frugal with the truth when it suits them, but what if everything we ever thought we knew, wasn’t in fact the true version - that our preconceived ideas and perceptions were completely wrong - a pack of lies that we’d been sold? How much do we really know about the world we live in - do we have just a glimpse of reality?

Well, that’s what our fictional protagonist, Detective Inspector David Sharp is about to find out. Sharp works for the UK anti terrorist squad, and when he discovers that nothing adds up regarding the London bombings of 2005 (often referred to as 7/7), things get worse very quickly, nothing makes sense, and it all points to a huge cover up, and there are many more to come! Sharp begins to receive texts from an unknown source who he eventually agrees to meet, and what he’s told leads to earth shattering discoveries - if they are true!

This conspiracy thriller is the result of five years of research by the author, and he claims it points to one of the world’s darkest conspiracies, (a conspiracy said to be very real). This conspiracy has been mentioned by British Prime Ministers, American Presidents and J.Edgar Hoover to name but a few. The author insists the resulting novel blends action with highly guarded secrets!

I still don’t know what to believe and what not to believe, but it’s certainly left me pondering. I was definitely gripped by it though - really enjoyed it, and look forward to the next in the series.

Really enjoyed this book, regardless of the irritating Bits

I had a bit of a rollercoaster ride with this book. I've never read a conspiracy book before so this has opened me up to a whole new genre, so thank you Mr. MacPherson.

I found Sharps character development to be a little lacklustre. He keeps mentioning he's a soldier, there's no background of this. Despite the lack of development, his research into conspiracies and his reactions to it all felt completely out of character. Why would a hotheaded soldier/anti-terrorist agent get so instantly wrapped up with the crap you read online? Just felt like he should have spent more than 1 night on it and have a bit more of a rollercoaster with his beliefs.

Now some parts that really irked me. The book is set in 2005 but Google didn't re-incorporate to Alphabet Inc until 2015. Facebook in 2005 was only open to university/high school students mostly in the US and was nigh on still ran from Zuckerbergs dorm room. Twitter was Twttr and not released to the public until 2006, the same year that Google bought out YouTube. I don't know whether this is oversight or fiction however.

This is me just nitpicking but felt those parts of the story were a bit rushed and not researched properly. This part of my review has mainly been for the author. Now for the reader:

The story is so well written, I had to Google the London bombings again to find out what was fact and fiction. Clearly time has been spent on some research to make this story flow just as the actual events happened. The conspiracy behind the conspiracy I can only assume stems from the Rothschild conspiracy, MacPherson has done an amazing job weaving "true" to life events into "fiction" (Inverted commas depending on your standpoint on conspiracy theories)

I have been completely engrossed in the story, considering this is a new genre for me, I've fully enjoyed reading it and urge you to try it if you're a fan of this type of stuff.

My thanks to both NetGalley and the publisher Mascot Books for an advanced copy of this conspiracy thriller.

Detective- Inspector David Sharp is part of the investigations team of the 2005 bombings of trains and buses in London when things start not to make sense. Evidence is either easily found pointing to one set of suspects, or CCTV cameras are not recording, or the pictures are not clear. Eyewitnesses claim to have seen things differently, the investigation seems to not be taken seriously, and pressure is coming from all sides to just go with what the bosses say for the good of the public. From there things only get odder, weirder and soon the world he was so comfortable in is suddenly a lot more dangerous for those who question what is really going on. The Churchill Conspiracy: The Other World series, Book 1 is a paranoia conspiracy thriller with secret masters, bankers who control the media and the world with a goal much worse than world domination.

As Sharp begins to investigate the bombing the story that the evidence is trying to tell, along with the information he is given by his superiors starts to contradict each other. Suspects can't be where they are supposed to be, shootings are reported and soon ignored. As Sharp investigates his version of the truth starts to clash with what the powers that be want. Soon text messages are appearing on his phone, leading to a meeting that blows his reality to shreds. The more Sharp digs, the more he finds, and soon he is in the crosshairs of some powerful dangerous people.

Big conspiracy writing, sort of like X-Files meets Jason Bourne with a lot of Art Bell Coast to Coast Am. The big ones are mentioned, 9/11, the Illuminati, Bildergerg Group, secret masters New World Order. The classics. The writing is a tad clunky in the beginning, a lot of tell, not show, but as the book progresses the story kind of sweeps you in, and it does not seem as obvious. Again the story moves along, with a lot of real people mentioned, and a a lot of different ideas, especially the President's museum of assassinations. Nothing QAnon, at least not yet, but I thought it was funny that climate change is a lie, but who the secret masters are, well I won't ruin the story, but it is different.

A fun thriller with a big everything you know is a lie, and here is the truth plotting. Recommended for fans of the Area 51 books by Bob Meyer, anything by Robert Anton Wilson, Steve Erickson, Patrick O'Leary's 51, the aforementioned X-Files, mainly because the time period of the novel and the show are so close. Even listeners of the Last Podcast on the Left will probably enjoy this, I believe some of this has appeared on the shows. Good fun.
