ABOUT THE BOOK

Alan Westbrook, an electronics and software engineer, has developed software that could be of enormous benefit to mankind, but could also unleash worldwide disaster. Governments, including his own, would go to any lengths to obtain his software, as would an individual with agendas of his own.

Should Alan give in and just sell it to one of them, whatever the consequences, or should he disappear into the countryside and hide? Or perhaps he could just destroy everything he has worked for.

But it is a hard thing to destroy your own brainchild, and what would happen if he secretly continued to develop his Doomsday Machine in the hope that he could restrict its use for the good of mankind?           Read Sample

ABOUT THE BOOK

Alan Westbrook tries to explain, to a class he has been asked to teach, about the climate and how the idea of manmade global warming is a complete myth brought about by assumptions being made in the early days, upon which more errors have been built. The media and other pressure groups have built this up until the public, especially the younger ones, are in total meltdown.

Because of his views, he is sucked deeper and deeper into the shady world of intrigue and subversion; much against his will and basic instincts. But when innocent people meet tragic ends, he decides to enter the battle full-on.

But will he be able to turn the tide and save the world from disaster?

ABOUT THE BOOK

Alan Westbrook is coerced, by MI5, into taking a job as special scientific adviser to the government, with a view to toning down their plans to avert global warming. Alan is not too sure about this, as his involvement with MI5 and the climate argument, had got him into no end of trouble in the past. But if he took the job, how was he going to convince members of the government that their policies were going to lead the country into disaster. What seemed like a pointless but harmless exercise,  gradually turns into a nightmare situation for them. Will they be able to avert a major catastrophe, or will they fail miserably? And can they come out of all this in one piece? Who knows what ends these people will go to to get their way?
