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!

The Doksany Legacy - Quentin Cope

It's winter 1987. Mohsen Raza, merciless head of Iran's feared Revolutionary Guard hunts millionaire oilman Declan Doyle, whose personal undertaking to deliver the Geneva Project ... a vital offshore oilfield installation in the Persian Gulf, crucial to the survival of an Iranian economy and weakened by the war with Iraq ... has proven worthless. Englishman Doyle, desperate to escape Raza's retribution and save his company, makes a frantic last throw of a set of dice loaded heavily against him. Evading Raza's forces he flees the tiny Arab state of Abu Nar, feverishly bent on seeking the truth in a dying man's story of Nazi treasure, one great enough to finance and complete the Geneva Project, saving him from a possibly agonising end at Raza's hands. With nail-biting action from the start, Doyle's frantic escape from his Iranian hunters leads him through dangerous, unpredictable Mujahideen-controlled Pakistan, onward to Northern Europe and finally to the Arab enclave of Dhofar, a desolate place that holds the key to possibly saving his life ... a life spent cheating and ruled by greed for which he knows, inevitably, a price must be paid. What Doyle cannot know is his chequered past and discovery of much sought after Nazi treasure, has set other hunters on his trail ... and Mohsen Raza may not end up being the very worst of them.
