In a desolate future where Earth is divided into zones of despair and privilege, Doctor Marcus Jarret has a life most can only dream of in the elite crystal zone. But when Anja, the woman he loves, vanishes, Marcus is thrust into the unstable yellow zone, a territory teeming with secrets. Accompanied by Finch, a watchful Associate Advocate, Marcus stumbles upon a horrifying truth.
With the fate of humanity hanging by a thread, they must unravel a conspiracy led by the enigmatic Leader and make agonising sacrifices.

Can Marcus and Finch defy fate and prevent a cataclysm before time runs out?
THE STORY BEHIND THE LAST ADVOCATE
This is L.J.’s debut novel in the sci-fi, cli-fi, thriller genre. It was actually started 25 years ago and those first few chapters ended up in a box, long forgotten about. While helping to clear out a storage room, a friend discovered the manuscript, read it and persuaded the author to complete the project.
A lot had changed in the world since those original chapters were first written and, in fact, many of the things in the book had already come to pass, so a substantial rewrite was required.
The Last Advocate is a cautionary tale of how things might progress in the world if we don’t change our ways.
