LATEST RELEASE 2024 ...

What do we know about the invention that turned the world on its head? How secret was it really? What would it mean to a planet on the edge, with tense warring nations all in a race to produce the next urgently needed advancement in military communications?

Some say the personal computer, the PC, was the invention that played its part in changing the balance of power during the Cold War era; a situation resulting in the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989. However, that was simply one single application for this wondrous invention.

In the very early 1970's, with the world in political and financial turmoil, some people would have given their lives to protect it? So, what will happen when a shipment of experimental, pre-production items goes missing? On a stage of untrustworthy actors it's difficult to decide who is telling the truth ... and who is not. However, in the midst of all the sometimes unexpected turmoil, one important lesson is left to be learnt; 'Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake!'

This thrilling story of 'cat and mouse', plot and counter plot will reveal all. Following a trail of unexpected dead ends and a frustrating number of dead bodies; the 'CHASE' is on!

HARTLEPOOL WRITERS GROUP

If you enjoy a rattling good tale, why not try 'The Cave' by T.R. Moran or 'The Nineteenth Day' by A.J Lot? For something a little more relaxing, you may prefer to journey through the fertile mind of Chris Robinson; stories that we feel sure will make you smile. 'Alone' is a mixed bag of individual work from members of the Hartlepool Writers Group; an anthology of stories that range from the very dark and emotionally stirring to the simply amusing 'Fruit, Bacteria at a Pinch, But No Bears'. The theme of this particular collection is 'isolation' and how such a solitary state may be interpreted by different writers. From a few hundred words to a few thousand, each story is presented to the reader as unique and previously unpublished. 'Abandon Ship' might be the' Last Words' spoken by a very young Able Seaman ... but the story does not end there! We hope you enjoy this eclectic mix of writing and writing styles and if any of the stories contained here make you smile ... or make you ponder for any length of time, then our job here is done!
