About this ebook

What would be the consequences if terrorists got their hands on the ULTIMATE WEAPON? Far-fetched? NO WAY!

Terrorists gain control of a spacecraft parked in deep space and stacked with nuclear missiles. Under the command of hate-driven former diplomat, Sir Miles Griffin, they plan using it in revenge and blackmail by hitting targets in the USA. However, all efforts to obtain the missiles' firing codes fail and Griffin contrives to recruit Frank Adams an English spacecraft engineer living in Canada. Adams, a former SAS Colonel and reformed alcoholic is the designer of the spacecraft's weapons system.

    On his return to England, Adam learns that his ex-wife has cancer and only a short time to live. Despite many years of separation she and Adams still love each other and Adams vows to save her life. Learning that there might be a cure, Adams accepts Griffin's offer of five million for arming the spacecraft, however, not trusting Griffin's motives, Adams agrees to work with the British Counter Terrorism Command to sabotage the project.

A fast moving story written by a spacecraft engineer to awaken the world to what might happen next.

This thriller is intended for all realists who think and who care.
