The Platinum Solution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494749323)

THE MAX THATCHER SERIES My books have been favorably compared with those of Ian Fleming and Dan Brown, though in the case of the latter I'm far shorter on the descriptive prose element. They are written to entertain and hopefully to inform. I pick background themes that relate to real world issues that we all face. They are exciting, fast moving compact thrillers and readers tell me that my books are hard to put down. 'Max Thatcher', a former officer in the Special Boat Service is the lead character in the series. The latest book "The Platinum Solution" considers the very real scenario in South Africa where less than scrupulous people choose to exploit a potential power vacuum caused by the death of Mandela. My first book "Gatekeeper" was about a psychotic businessman hacking into global computer systems with catastrophic consequences. A very real and relatively easy thing to do as the security services around the world will doubtless continue to vehemently deny.
