One line Synopsis: - An international political intrigue thriller set in the aftermath of the collapse of Russian communism. Two paragraph synopsis: - An escaped British political prisoner becomes involved with group of mercenaries formed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction wherever they can be found. The plot, set against a backdrop of post-communist political unrest in Russia, is complicated by an American President desperate to gain a second term in office at any cost. Synopsis: - When Simon Denchfield lands his crippled seaplane on a secluded lagoon on a Pacific Island, near the Marquesas, he never expected to find it inhabited by anyone, let alone the determined people he found there. Treated with the deepest suspicion at first, Denchfield finds himself accepted when their leader recognises him. Worried that he is about to be exposed, Denchfield discovers the group are part of a secret organisation dedicated to the eradication of the world's weapons of mass destruction. He accepts an invitation to join them as one of their leaders and soon finds himself flying into Russia attacking their nuclear arsenals and missile stockpiles. With Russia weakened and disorganised by the collapse of communism, Denchfield suggests a way the US President can, not only gain himself a second term in office, but also ensure his name is recorded in history as the man who brought peace to the world. While the President is excited by the idea his military advisers are not. They see the growing accord between the two super-powers as diminishing their own standing and importance. Together with a deputy director of the CIA, General Maxwell and Admiral Freeman arrange to have a US submarine fire a nuclear missile at Moscow on the eve of the disarmament signing ceremony in Geneva. Alerted to the incident, Denchfield manages to destroy the weapon in flight and so averts a catastrophe. With the job of world weapon destruction half done, the leaders of the secret organisation find themselves being offered, and taking, important United Nations jobs. ******** Already printed in Ebook Kindle format Paperback required.
