Simon Hunter's chosen humanitarian mission is put at risk by the
demands of selfish politicians. They use threats to demand the use
of his unique skills for their own selfish purposes. To fulfil his
chosen mission - and at the same time the task which is thrust upon
him - he must evoke his incompatible binary intelects. One of them
is his true self and the other his unfeeling alter ego. In
struggling to control his two mismatched personalities he uncovers
a third unwanted element which threatens to derail his
unconventional life. As both disparate missions and personalities
develop he faces the stark choice of abandoning either his ideals
or his family.
Who is Simon Hunter? Is he a wealthy international entrepreneur or
a parasite preying on an unsuspecting society? Simon Hunter is a
rare binary man. Some see him as the abductor of talented
individuals and others as a liberator of down trodden ordinary
people - but beware, with him nothing is quite as it seems. What he
does and the way he does it excites the interests of intelligence
agencies on both sides of the Atlantic; they want to use his unique
talents to further their own devious aspirations. He is thrust
unwillingly into a complicated life of intrigue and double dealing
which takes him to the squalid back streets of London, the
unsavoury ghettos of Africa and immerses him in the sinister world
of international conspiracy. Can he come to terms with the the
demands thrust upon him when his family become enmeshed in the
danger of the shadowy world into which he finds himself? The answer
to his dilemma unfolds in a series of unpredictable and fateful
consequences which will leave him and those around him forever
changed.
A megalomaniac politician continues relentlessly with his devious
quest to take control of a newly developed technology which has the
ability to provide great world changing benefits for mankind but
which also has the potential to be devastatingly destructive in the
wrong hands. The technology is being kept safe on an island created
as if by the magic using the power of the new technology itself, in
an attempt to ensure that it is used only for its beneficial
properties. Rival powers desperately crave possession of the
technology and attempt to intimidate the small island nation by
using military muscle. The Islanders are driven to using their
peaceful technology as a dramatic weapon of defence. Will this
paradox fulfil their dreams or will it become their nightmare?
In the aftermath of catastrophic global financial collapse, which
all but destroys even the most advanced countries, two scientist
discover an anomaly which in the right hands can help to save
mankind but in the wrong hands has the power to destroy it. To
protect their discovery the scientists decide to build a new
society populated with carefully selected like-minded specialists,
offering them intelectual freedom and a completely new way of life.
The enormous destructive power of their discovery is uncovered by a
brutal emergent Super Power and a megalomaniac renegade politician
who, for personal reasons, wants the discovery for himself and will
use any means to get it.
The power hungry disgraced politician Colin Wilson, now forced into
exile, plots deadly revenge against the scientists who have twice
defeated his attempts to snatch control of their revolutionary
world changing technology.
Against their better judgement the scientists are forced once
again to use their peaceful technology as a 'weapon of defence' to
safeguard their Island home. Under relentless attack from Wilson
and the unprincipled Federation of Nations the scientists and the
other Islanders once more demonstrate their willingness to
sacrifice everything except their integrity to safeguard the future
of their discovery.
In their safe hands the technology will be used to benefit mankind
but in the wrong ones will probably destroy it.
Who will prevail in the final deadly battle for control in which
the winner takes all?
