Bakerloo Line

by Steve Schach

A suicide bomber from the Palestinian Islamic Front for Jihad and Liberation (PIFJL) tries to blow up Waterloo Tube Station in London. Thanks to the efforts of the Mossad, the Semtex bomb fails to detonate, but it explodes later in a PIFJL safe house. Leaders of the PIFJL need a new place to set up base, and choose a remote Greek island. However, members of the anti-Moslem Greek Spartan League intercept the motor launch carrying the PIFJL explosives and weapons. When the League sees a letter describing the British Government’s secret plans to recognize the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus, leaders plot retaliation using the stolen munitions. Despite the best efforts of MI5 and the Mossad, London's Tube commuters are once again in serious danger.

About the author

For 26 years, Steve Schach was a professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. At the end of 2009, Steve moved to Sydney, Australia. Before he began writing thrillers, Steve wrote 13 best-selling software engineering textbooks, which are used in universities all over the world. Down Under, Steve intended to become a full-time grandfather, and limit his intellectual activities to solving cryptic crossword puzzles and avidly watching Sesame Street with his grandchildren. However, the urge to write proved to be far too strong to overcome, hence his historical spy thriller, Old Bach Is Come which was published in March 2013. While the book was in production, Steve completed two more historical spy thrillers, both set in World War II.
