| Publisher Description: The Unicorn Conspiracy The Year - 1973: The Setting - Africa and the Middle East: The Story - International politics, high finance and personal revenge: The Question - Did it really happen? Triggered by events that take place on Oman's high plateau at Jebel Akhtar during a cold January in 1959, a friendship is formed; a dangerous friendship capable of giving birth to the beginnings of World War Three. One man, one extraordinary man, is tasked with preventing what some would later describe as a pending Armageddon. A bitter, exiled religious leader is gaining an increasing Islamic following; one with the power to release the military might of a cold war Soviet Union on a financially wounded Europe. America, overseeing the unsettling events, appears impotent, divorcing itself from any military responsibilities to a recently formed and generally distrusted European Community. Maxwell Armstrong is a man desperately needing to extract himself from the clutches of the British SIS. However, he is the only person able to communicate with the exiled religious Imam. The clock is ticking, but standing in Maxwell's path is a powerful conspiracy; the ruthless and manipulative members of a secret organization calling itself 'Unicorn'. However, when they take the life of his beloved Helga in such a brutal manner, the whole business becomes deeply personal. Tasked with facing the Imam and the reality of his actions, but being betrayed at every turn, the determined and grieving intelligence agent desperately attempts to stay one step ahead of the clandestine society; but will he be in time? A thriller to the very end in a Tom Clancy style story-telling and the kind of attention to detail provided by someone who must have been there! |
