‘The Pioneering. Paranoia. California Thriller.’ - Sunday Times.

A pacey thriller with threads of dark humour and links to a bluesy soundtrack.  Based on real events including the accidental deaths of 22 British scientists all working on President Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’  missile defence shield.

A failed quarterback, failed husband and failed architect, finds redemption through the music of a failed songwriter – along with more than a little help from the new lady in his life.

When the drinking, smoking, womanising, central character, Morgan, receives a rejected demo tape, his friends start meeting with bizarre accidents

Eventually it dawns,’ Somebody is out to get me.’ He runs to the California Desert, picking up the inevitable girl en route, on to London, then back to LA where all is revealed.

The darkness of the central message is carried in the ripping yarn and the dichotomy between those who rule our lives and those who live by the rules is ruthlessly exposed.  A roller-coaster of drama, excitement, pathos,  love and violence - and at it’s heart the greatest Conspiracy the Western World has ever faced.
