The lost libraries?
By Peter Stuart Smith (AKA Max Adams, James Barrington, James Becker, Tom Kasey, Thomas Payne and Jack Steel)This will be my last blog post for about three weeks because on Sunday I'm flying out to Hong Kong to join the Queen Mary 2for a cruise lasting about two and a half weeks, and as usual I'll be giving lectures on the ship before I fly back from Sydney. It'll be a couple of quite long lon Read more of this blog post »

Cyberstrike: London (Ben Morgan Thrillers #1)

“Not exactly,' Richter said. 'We're going to attack an armed road convoy and seize a nuclear weapon that the Russians are trying to deliver to London.'
'Fuck a duck,' Colin Dekker said, and sat down.”
― Overkill
'Fuck a duck,' Colin Dekker said, and sat down.”
― Overkill
“The G450 was approaching take-off speed just as the helicopter drew alongside, some fifty metres clear, on the left side of the runway. Richter didn’t hesitate. As the Gulfstream accelerated, he pointed the minigun straight at it, aimed for the centre of mass and squeezed the trigger. The General Electric M134 minigun fires six thousand rounds a minute in its normal configuration, an almost continuous stream of bullets pouring out of the six rotating barrels. Richter’s aim was initially a little off, the first bullets passing over and beyond the Gulfstream, but he immediately corrected. The stream of 7.62-millimetre ammunition ripped through the thin and relatively delicate skin of the passenger cabin, moving down and forwards, tearing a ragged line through the metal that almost bisected the aircraft”

“In the cabin, the four Americans stared in horrified disbelief as the bullets howled through the fuselage, obliterating everything they hit. O’Hagan tore off his seat belt and rushed over to one of the port-side windows to look out. The Bell 212 was flying parallel, only yards away. In the open cabin door, an ugly black weapon was pointing directly at him. O’Hagan instantly recognized the minigun — and then the face of the man behind it. ‘That fucking Richter,’ he screamed, as the jet began to break up around him. In the cockpit, Sutter and Haig became aware of an increase in noise and vibration, but couldn’t immediately identify the cause. Haig called out ‘V2 — rotate,’ and Sutter eased back on the control column. Just as he did so, the stream of bullets from the minigun reached the cockpit, killing both men instantly.”

Looks like a list of excellent thrillers - the sort I like to read as a complete break from what I write, which is historical fiction. Not sure if all my books would appeal to you, but THE MASTER'S TALE might be one, especially if you're interested in the Titanic? My novel gives Capt Smith's life story, reflected upon during the 5 days of that fateful voyage. It's had some excellent reviews on Amazon from seafarers (a relief, I must admit!) Go to www.annvictoriaroberts.co.uk for more info.
