'THE STOIC': A British Thriller by Jonathan Eckersley
Synopsis: The Stoics are an ancient Clan of smugglers; deemed ‘psychopaths’, even hundreds of years ago. They’re known as ‘The Men in Bonnets’, the Bonnet being awarded only to the most loyal, the most relentless.
They just about tolerate we ‘Westerners’ and our bored, comfortable lives as we complain and championing our misfortune as virtue.
To the Stoics, pain and suffering is oxygen. They live by self-denial but support a code of concern for others.
The Stoic’s ‘Aurelius’ is our hero and favourite of ‘Mother, the leader of The Stoics. He’s a lone enforcer, ostracized from his Clan after contributing to manslaughter and now facing ‘Western’ prison time. This weighs on his conscience.
