Leslie J Nicholls Brings Scepticism, and Political Insight to His Expanding Thriller Series
Author Leslie J Nicholls continues to build his reputation as a distinctive voice in British political fiction with the release of Taking Back Control: Lap Of The Gods. Drawing on decades of experience in the competitive world of sales and marketing, Nicholls brings a sharp understanding of persuasion, messaging, and public perception to his writing.
Before turning to fiction, Nicholls spent years navigating high pressure commercial environments where creative thinking produced measurable results. With his professional life established, he shifted focus towards a long held ambition to write. His debut novel, This Disunited Kingdom, began a political thriller series rooted in scepticism towards institutional power and media narratives.
Nicholls has openly described his intellectual journey from accepting mainstream political messaging to questioning it. Extensive exposure to current affairs, independent broadcasting, and public debate shaped his evolving perspective. Rather than continuing those arguments solely through commentary, he channelled them into fiction.
The result is a series that explores themes of political disillusionment, media influence, sovereignty, and public frustration. The books do not present abstract conspiracies detached from reality. Instead, they reflect recognisable tensions within Britain’s political landscape.
Readers have referred to what they describe as a Nostradamus effect in Nicholls’ earlier work. Certain themes and developments in his fiction appeared to mirror events that unfolded later in real life. While Nicholls does not claim predictive intent, the observation has drawn increased interest in his writing.
His latest release, Taking Back Control: Lap Of The Gods, represents the culmination of a narrative arc developed across four novels. The series begins with This Disunited Kingdom, continues through The Serpents’ Manifesto and Into The Sunset, and reaches new intensity in Taking Back Control. Each instalment expands the political and institutional pressures faced by the fictional Britain he portrays.
Nicholls’ background in marketing is evident in his ability to construct layered plots where media, perception, and political strategy intersect. His work remains firmly within the political thriller genre while addressing contemporary British concerns in direct and accessible language.
As public debate continues around governance, authority, and national direction, Nicholls offers readers fiction that engages with those issues through structured narrative rather than polemic.

About the Author:
Leslie J Nicholls came to fiction after a long and successful career in the demanding world of sales and marketing, where results mattered, and persuasion had measurable consequences. After securing his family’s future, he turned his attention to a project that had been forming in his mind for decades. Years spent driving thousands of miles each year with talk radio and current affairs for company sharpened his ear for political language and media narratives.
Over time, he moved from accepting conventional explanations about politics, power, and international affairs to questioning them. Frustration with what he saw as institutional complacency and media bias eventually found its outlet in fiction.
His debut novel, This Disunited Kingdom, was written in under thirty weeks but was shaped by nearly thirty years of observation, debate, and scepticism. That same energy continues through The Serpents’ Manifesto, Into The Sunset, and Taking Back Control, a series that channels his doubts, anger, and scrutiny of political, economic, and media leadership into structured political thrillers that challenge readers to look more closely at the systems that govern them.
