      A disturbing and critically acclaimed novel with sinister echoes of 1984 and BRAVE NEW WORLD, from the award-winning author described by SFX as 'the modern day George Orwell'

      ''Insightful and ingenious . . . Intrusion is both horrific and comic, and deals movingly with the consequences of genetic fixes'' - GUARDIAN

      ''Intrusion is a finely-tuned, in-your-face argument of a novel . . . MacLeod will push your buttons - and make you think'' - SFX

      Imagine a near-future city, say London, where medical science has advanced beyond our own and a single-dose pill has been developed that, taken when pregnant, eradicates many common genetic defects from an unborn child.

      Hope Morrison, mother of a hyperactive four-year-old, is expecting her second child. She refuses to take The Fix, as the pill is known. This divides her family and friends and puts her and her husband in danger of imprisonment or worse. Is her decision a private matter of individual choice, or is it tantamount to willful neglect of her unborn child?

      A plausible and original novel with sinister echoes of 1984 and Brave New World.
