This is a science 'faction' novel written in the tradition of, for example, Michael 'Jurassic Park' Crichton where science fact has been combined with believable fiction. In this eco mystery suspense novel a nuclear scientist has inadvertently become responsible for one of the biggest breakthroughs in defence technology since the atomic bomb ended the Second World War. The scientist's original aim was to provide limitless, clean energy but a Government has been quick to realize its other application. Forced to sublimate his original ideals in exchange for cash and for the sake of his stricken young son he reluctantly complies. But as the project nears completion new calculations show it can have unexpected effects far beyond those he ever intended. He tries to speak out but no one is listening. A side effect is to bring his science into conflict with his strong, religious faith. Should he resign the project or should he remain and try and influence its outcome? But his qualms appear to have come too late. The project is too far advanced. A top secret US military aircraft disappears and with it is lost a secret plan to save 12 million American lives from an impending ecological disaster of biblical proportions. With it too an ancient Past has inexplicably become connected with the Present. Along with his wife and child the scientist becomes entrapped in that Past. With it a time bomb has been set ticking. Lives are at stake. Time is short. And only the Past seems capable of saving the Present.

A growing threat from nuclear pollution suddenly threatens to engulf everyone living in the American Pacific Northwest. A US President tries to avert a coming toxic apocalypse but fears he will he be too late. The accidental cause is scientist Dr Jonathan Anderson's pursuit of a new and alternate source of clean energy. But as his dream is about to come true he is side lined by Government interests which in their wake ensures his predictions of disaster come true. But by then it's too late. And salvation can only be found in the hands of a medieval king of legend who died 2000 years before. In mixing fact with fiction the author weaves a highly credible story that in part is now being played out for real in Washington State with its vast Hanford Reach former nuclear production facility. It is a mix leading to a highly believable story promising sleepless nights for all who read it. And although this novel is self contained the author promises two more in the same vein. Like this they will be uncomfortable reading for anyone with any eye on nuclear pollution or who likes their fiction close to reality.

ThIs is a mystery suspense novel where ’fact’ and ’fiction’ have been combined into a believable story similar in vein to those made popular by such established authors as Michael ‘Jurassic Park’ Crichton, Tom ‘The Hunt for Red October’ Clancy or Frederick ‘Day of the Jackal’ Forsyth. In it Author R Julian Cox weaves his knowledge of the ecology and cutting-edge science together with religious faith and ancient British history. The result is a gripping and multi layered story that tests the boundaries of both the material world along with the spiritual. It begins with a nuclear scientist and part-time lay preacher who has unwittingly become responsible for one of the biggest breakthroughs in defence technology since Einstein and the Atomic Bomb ended the Second World War. Although originally aimed at peaceful applications for generating limitless clean power the concept has been redirected by a Government quick to realise it has another application. As the project nears conclusion the scientist is beset by belated moral qualms over new calculations suggesting the results may have consequences far beyond those he ever imagined. But those qualms come too late. The project is too far advanced. His worst fears are soon realised. Unforeseen consequences occur beginning with the disappearance of a classified US military aircraft carrying a secret that must be recovered at all costs. Twelve million American lives depend on it as soon they will be threatened by an impending ecological and man-made disaster of biblical proportions. As the plot deepens a shadowy king of legend somehow becomes entangled with the present whilst the scientist and his family become simultaneously entangled with an ancient past. With it a bomb has been set ticking and they may all be the first to pay the ultimate price for the scientist’s folly. Time is short. And a toxic apocalypse is looming where only the Past seems capable of offering salvation to the Present.
