Book Synopsis

On an abandoned street in Old Cairo, four Brits are kidnapped. But this is no ordinary kidnapping.

They are hostages of the Serendipity Foundation, a millennium-old collective with a prophecy to fulfil. They’re prepared to do whatever it takes—and they’re going to make the British government play along.

As the unconventional ransom demands escalate, the Foundation’s real aims are gradually revealed: instead of inspiring fear, their mission is to repair the corrupted values of media, industry and government before it’s too late.

The Serendipity Foundation is a razor-sharp and powerful satirical fable that speaks to the heart of a new political generation and asks: why do so many of us settle for a world we know we can make better?



Trade Review
"[Sam Smit’s] dream of a better world made fact by radical, unconventional thinking and actions is fascinating and exciting. A revolutionary cracker of a debut." -- Richard Madeley
"Terrific read. Wildly imaginative, pacy, page-turning and original." -- Rosie Boycott
