This is a chance of looking into the future of Spooks with [spooks] Code 9. The series is as entertaining and action-packed asSpooks has always been, whilst bringing a more maverick, younger perspective.
The year is 2013. London has been evacuated following a nuclear bomb and the countrys power base has shifted north. Inthe wake of the attack, MI5 must completely restructure and establish field offices across the UK, working to gatherintelligence from the very heart of local communities. They need young, new officers on the ground, and fast. Luckily,Britains youth is more than up to the challenge and is fighting back from the attack with a new sense of patriotism,combined with the hedonism that comes from being face to face with their own mortality. It is members of this new generationof patriots who help make up MI5s new Field Office 19.
