Buy in paperbackDavid Brook, ex-RAF, now British intelligence, faces a conspiracy that could ruin Britain.
A British intelligence officer looking for counterfeit money.
A mysterious French-Algeria with links to extremists in Egypt.
A brilliant communications clerk with a knack for codes.
In the summer of 1948, few tears are shed outside Germany when Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda, dies whilst attending a League of Nations meeting in Geneva. However, his replacement, eager to please Chancellor Heydrich, dusts off an old plan to attack British interests in Egypt. When British learn of the plan to flood the country with counterfeit money, David Brook is sent to Alexandria to disrupt the operation before it can cause too much damage.
Years after his last visit to Egypt, Brook finds growing anti-British sentiment. The imminent closure of the Suez Canal to allow HMS Ark Royal, the newest, largest aircraft carrier in the Royal Navy, to transit is a convenient excuse for protest. Is the mysterious French-Algeria refugee fleeing the Nazi aligned French State government in Algiers quite what he seems?
With the help of the local police chief, a lowly port official, and Grace Rigby, a smart communications clerk from the local consulate, Brook begins to fear more is at stake than fake money…
Praise for Atomic Secrets
"In some ways this book is in the tradition of Len Deighton’s “SS-GB” or C.J. Sansom’s “Dominion”, though in another way it has more in common with Robert Harris’s “Fatherland” … Britain is not defeated, but Nazi Germany remains.A very enjoyable, tense story, excellently cast in a fascinating setting. Atomic Secrets comes highly recommended."INFINITY WANDERERS Magazine #8
Intriguing alternative history concept – with legs - more please! *****
Atomic Secrets feels like it might have come from the pen of the likes of Frederick Forsyth, combining the nuclear shenanigans of The Fourth Protocol or political intrigue of Icon with the manhunt aspects of The Day of the Jackal. ****
