Philip Rennett - British Writer of Satirical Fiction
Philip Rennett is a British satirical fiction author and creator of the Path Finder series - fast-paced, humorous political satire that explores power, chaos, ambition, and the fragile hope that keeps humanity afloat.
In a world where politics, power, and absurdity collide, ordinary people find themselves at the centre of extraordinary storms.
The Path Finder series blends razor-sharp satire, unexpected heart, and thought-provoking storytelling to examine how powerless those in power can be - and how quietly brave the rest of us often are.
Smart, funny, and occasionally just a little too real, these are entertaining, thought-provoking satirical novels for modern society.
Introducing the Path Finder series
From an ordinary man discovering a runaway Prime Minister in his garage, to a disillusioned former leader entangled in a billionaire conspiracy in Ireland, and a popular global movement no one can define but world leaders want to control - the Path Finder novels skewer the political and the powerful while celebrating the human.
Through witty political satire and wry social commentary, the series explores ambition, influence, identity, and the unintended consequences of decisive action.
Smart, funny, and full of humanity, The Path Finder Series is satire for our times: thought-provoking, unpredictable and, occasionally, just a little bit too real.
Paths Not Yet Taken
Paths Not Yet Taken is a funny and thought-provoking political satire about how powerless those in power actually are - fiction that sits only a stone’s throw from reality.
When the Prime Minister disappears without a trace, one man with a secret life and a dark past puts the missing politician at risk of losing more than his job. Chaos ensues. And that’s just at one quiet end-of-terrace house. Elsewhere, a van explodes, a prospective leader loses control before he’s even started, and an assassination attempt goes badly wrong. Twice.
Ultimately, one spur-of-the-moment decision sparks others to consider decisive actions of their own. Just try not to think about the sausage.
Good For The Soul
In this second instalment of the Path Finder series, satire meets conspiracy and unintended philosophy.
Simon Pope is on a secret mission he is ill-equipped to handle. Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Andrew Blackwell discovers that his silence has made him more influential than ever. His so-called “Path Finder philosophy” generates worldwide intrigue - although nobody, including himself, knows what it is.
When a secret conference collapses into chaos, Blackwell must evade a media manhunt and return to London, relying on unlikely allies.
What follows may lay the foundation for a movement that could change the world - if anyone can work out what it is.
Where The Winds Blow
Path Finder has gone global. Millions of followers. Endless headlines. Oceans of cash. Only one small complication: its founders still have no idea what the movement actually is.
Now the powerful want answers - and they will do anything to retain control.
Across the world, an ex-soldier races to reach his family before the law gets to him. In Tornado Alley, Simon and Pippa Pope chase storms, unaware that the late wedding gift may upend humanity itself.
Fast, funny, and ferociously sharp, Where The Winds Blow continues the satirical exploration of power, control, and unintended consequences.
