Chapter 26 Gordon had been struggling fiercely against the ropes holding him when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Virgil lunge forward. His mind was screaming at his brother to stop, his body reacting violently as he tried to pull his way free. Virgil couldn’t do this! The Hood might have threatened to kill them all, but Gordon knew full well Scott would not let that happen….
Chapter 4 Rebecca had woken late for once, and had lain there, wondering what to do with the day that stretched out ahead of her, aimless and barren. No Christmas shopping to do; she’d done most of it online and anyway there were not that many people to buy for. Not now. Sara, of course, and she was always hard to buy for, but this year Rebecca had found the…
Chapter 2 Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground. In the end Straker had decided to use a local airline rather than expose one of their own machines on a flight to Reykjavik.

But with that satellite out of operation we’re left with a blind spot that can’t be scanned by sensors….
Prologue Dagur Stilgarsson knew he was dying. He had known the moment he had touched the housing of the multiplexing unit. The secret service technician shifted his weight in an attempt to reach his duffel bag, and the mobile in it. He had to warn Reykjavík headquarters about the trap which was killing the fourth agent just now. Even though his lanky frame moved but mere inches, he could feel…
Chapter 19 John sat back on the couch, watching his only older brother critically. Scott was all but standing to attention in front of their father’s desk, hands clasped behind him as he outlined his plan. Virgil was in the chair on John’s left, but was sitting so upright that if John didn’t know better, he would have said that his immediate younger brother had been through the same military…
Lew Waterman opened the entry door of the Northern Health Centre. He was late, his flight from Moonbase had been delayed and the drive through Glasgow had cost him more time than expected. He leapt two stairs at a time as he rushed to the second floor where he hoped to find Craig Collins. Only two days ago Collins had got the go-ahead from Dr. Adams, the leader of the…
Prologue ‘Mr Freeman?’ Alec nodded, ‘Yes Miss Ealand, Dr Harper. She’s going below with me.’ One second of hesitation, in fact even less than that, before Miss Ealand smiled a welcome and opened the door to the inner office.
