In the 1970s computers were beginning to overwhelm the Secret
Services. Quickly, too much information was coming into GCHQ and
things were being missed. The Collation Unit was set up underground
in six floors beneath some old aircraft hangars at Mannington
airfield just outside Cheltenham to make connections and prioritise
everything. In April/May 1982 they spotted some very strange things
happening in Georgia and Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, London
decided to move the only satellite covering this area down to the
South Atlantic where some Argentinians had begun to invade the
Falklands. When tensions began to develop with London, Mannington
had to resort to old-fashioned means of finding out what was going
on in the Middle East. They found Mark Tanner, an irrigation
engineer from High Wycombe, who was working on new Military Cities
in Saudi Arabia. He was there to make enough money to pay off his
mortgage after a small difficulty involving a fire. It is true to
say that however technology moves on, it still all comes down to
people on the ground ... A tense and exciting story with an
unguessable ending, this is a must-read for spy thriller
enthusiasts and anyone who has always wondered what goes on behind
closed doors.
