The author of this spy thriller, set in the Middle East in
1989-1990, is a former Intelligence Officer with the Australian
Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) who served in the region. He was
trained by MI6 in London and also served for ten years in the Asian
region. The story deals with powerful political forces churning
away in the Middle East at a time when Saddam Hussein in Iraq and
Muammar Gadaffi in Libya were at the peak of their power. Gadaffi
was the ogre of his day before Osama bin Laden came to prominence
as the Al Qaida leader, with the ultimate tragic ending being the
9/11 attacks on the United States. The story deals with the
nitty-gritty daily grind of intelligence work undercover in a
region where so many conflicting forces are at play. In a common
quest to pinpoint where reality lies at any given time allied
intelligence services often cooperate to great effect and with
camaraderie always to the fore. Despite this, however, things can
often go spectacularly wrong and lives are lost, especially when
treachery rears its ugly head inside one's own agency. This story
shows how spies contend with these dangerous challenges. Most of
the story takes place in Cairo, with other events occurring in
Canberra, Washington and London.
