Part 3 moves the action into the present, looking at Dave’s life as a modern prophet living outside the system and his efforts to bring the Law to a wider audience.  Starting in a caravan next to Runnymede Eco Village, the action takes us on the road as Dave gives talks and submits affidavits to the Queen while avoiding the attentions of the police and psychiatrists.  It also focuses on Dave’s private life, his time spent as Dolores Kane, his tranny alter ego, and the mainstream media’s coverage of his circumstances.  The denouement follows his efforts to alert politicians and journalists to the secret state’s connection to the Manchester bombing on 22nd May 2107
