Terror Firma (Matthew Thomas).

Terror Firma by Matthew Thomas is a thriller book that brings together a number of different storylines revolving around an enormous and powerful global conspiracy that defies explanation.

At the core of this conspiracy revolves the mysterious Committee, whose secretive and uncanny authority has lead to near total manipulation of billions of people worldwide. Forming the committee are conspirators across the globe who hide their activities behind complex facades. Whilst outwardly having extremely legitimate jobs, they secretly shape society, and the state of planetary affairs. The protagonist of the novel, Frank, rebukes a series of seemingly unpredictable events, culminating with his ultimate discovery of the true nature of these mysterious conspirators. The very existence of such a conspiracy reveals an even more damning truth, that of human treachery and manipulation, spanning multiple societies in their pursuit of power and domination. Whereas in reality the evidence of Frank's discovery consists of a singular and ubiquitous photo, whose potential to undermine every facet of conventional humanity is deeply distressing.
