Stuart Garrison, a brilliant virtual reality software developer,
has his company poised on the threshold of industry dominance with
the release of his newest virtual reality system--Next World. Among
his competitors is Preston McBraid, the cutthroat CEO of a rival
company. McBraid realizes that if he does not own Next World, his
company is bound to lose its premier position atop the computer
industry.
Driven by desperation and greed, McBraid hires the notorious
Nomed, a highly sought-after assassin who commands millions to kill
a target. The FBI learns of the assassination plot and intervenes
to protect Stuart. He in turn quickly augments the FBI team, hiring
two security specialists as additional defense: a monster of a man,
nicknamed Superman--and Alex Nichols, an expert in the field of
security. Stuart clings desperately to the hope that he can make it
though the onslaught of Nomed's assassination attempts. If he does,
his next ingenious virtual reality product--Mind Games--will blow
the world away with its originality and staggering mass appeal, and
catapult Stuart to the top of the computer industry as its reigning
czar, and make him a billionaire many times over.
In this gripping suspense thriller, the wannabe czar of the
computer industry is unwittingly catapulted into a deadly
cat-and-mouse game against the infamous Nomed, and only time will
tell who is clever enough to survive.

Equatorial Guinea, Kosovo and Azerbijan thrown in for good measure.
John Wiley is a master diver enjoying his time in the Greater
Antilles until he finds himself playing a game of chess with
Iranian and North Korean-sponsored terrorists.
They are going head to head with the U.S. government, seeking to
free dangerous detainees held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. When dead
bodies are found floating in the bay, the naval base and the island
of nearby Jamaica are placed on high alert.
A hastily assembled team of quirky analysts piece together clues
from South Korea and other locations spanning the globe, but the
terrorists are hard to track down. John relies on a diverse group
of Guantanamo Bay residents, the U.S. Navy and a hard-won network
of friends to find the enemy.
But it's two women from John's past that he wants nothing to do
with who might provide the information he desperately needs. The
fate of Guantanamo Bay and the surrounding islands are at stake in
this fast-paced thriller that delves into the history of the bay
and details that go into intelligence work. Danger and excitement
are around every corner in Storm Over Guantanamo.
The author of Beyond Enkription and the rest of The Burlington
Files series is Bill Fairclough who was born in England in 1950. In
1978 he founded a niche global intelligence organisation known as
"Faire Sans Dire." The series is based on Bill Fairclough's life
and some of Faire Sans Dire's activities. Beyond Enkription is the
first novel in the series of six novels to be published. The series
covers events involving Bill, his beguiling family and his
double-dealing colleagues ranging from the First World War to 9/11,
the related Nisha incidents and beyond. The series even covers new
revelations about the Edward Snowden affair and has been or is
being written with film adaptation in mind. Nevertheless each book
is or will be a standalone novel albeit each one might comprise
several films and/or television series. The first novel is set in
1974 in the heart of the Cold War. It is about a wayward
accountant, Edward Burlington aka Bill Fairclough. In 1974 he is
unwittingly working as an agent for MI6 by night whilst auditing
beans during the day and is nearly murdered not just once but four
times between March and June 1974. For his own safety Edward is
underhandedly despatched to work as an accountant in Nassau only to
be recruited by the CIA and face more death defying moments in the
Bahamas, Brazil and Haiti before the year's end. Meanwhile his
family are sucked inexorably into the perfidious mess and intrigue
surrounding Edward's double life and their own machinations. The
repercussions of the Burlington family's activities resonate from
Kinshasa to Islamabad via Washington and Westminster and back.
Nothing is what it seems to be in this treacherous novel where
disinformation is the norm. Beyond Enkription is a family yarn and
history; a spy novel and espionage reference book; a mystery and
suspense thriller and more besides: a realistic tale of a dynastic
duplicitous family that knows instinctively the knack of survival.
The brutal opening contrasts well with the tantalising and
duplicitous Prologue yet the physicality of the opening chapter is
arguably far less vicious than the cerebral scheming that ensues.
The book is a distinctive memorable and realistic read full of
captivating characters. Its intertwined plots would have challenged
Aristotle's intellect. So, when you read it, if you don't think so
then you may have lost the plot! As one connoisseur put it
succinctly ... "question everything you assume isn't
disinformation." Critics described Beyond Enkription as "A
compelling, provocative and beguiling spy novel: a must for
connoisseurs ..." and "Brutal ab initio, cerebral thereafter but
forever realistic ..." As for its realism you can always contrast
Bill Fairclough's past on WikiTree or LinkedIn with Edward
Burlington. Just how real can you get? We hope you enjoy reading it
and succeed in differentiating between fact, fiction and
disinformation. Please see http: //www.theburlingtonfiles.org,

our websites by now and the other websites haven't tried to
extinguish all evidence of knowledge of The Burlington Files!
