I

UPPER EARTH ORBIT, THE EGE OF OUTER SPACE

Solar One is the most audacious hi-jack ever perpetrated. For the Fanatical Suleiman el Rashid this is a suicide mission and the culmination of his terrorist career. He plans to turn Solar One into a murder beam weapon, a giant magnifying glass in space, capable of destroying whole cities and burning it's way across the continent of North America. His first targets are Washington and New York.

But Mark Falcon is also ex-SAS. As Solar One hurtles across the Atlantic Ocean he has only hours to prevent disaster, and somehow he must also save the space station, the last best hope for a planet imperilled by climate change.

 

 

              

 

  I began my writing career as ROBERT CHARLES, publishing 27 hardback titles, most of them with Robert Hale. Many of them also sold foreign translation rights and US paperback rights. One sold a film option. They are all out of print now but I have showcased them below, just in case there is a TV producer somewhere looking for a new TV series of Cold War espionage, or a series on pre Al Qaeda Counter Terrorism.

 

 

 

Simon Larren was my James Bond, although I created him before Bond hit the headlines with the first film. Larren was the killing arm of British Counter Espionage, the man who got all the wet jobs. If Ian Fleming had not used the term “Licensed to kill,” it would have fitted Larren just as well. His exploits ran through nine books, taking him through all the threats and dangers of the Cold War years.

A BRANDE NEW FALCON SAS NOVEL FROM SAPERE

 

 

 The allied forces were ready to launch their blitzkrieg assault upon Iraq and the extraction of a high ranking defector from underneath the noses of the dreaded Mukhabarat was just the beginning.

In his new role as a photo journalist Mark Falcon was on the spot and on call and once again all his old SAS skills were in demand.

As the bombs rain down on Baghdad he needs the help of another crack SAS team to stop Saddam's plan to bring Israel into the war.

Everything is complicated by the yearning love affair between a defiant young Englishman and a honey-eyed Muslim girl. For Firouzeh Karzarni it is an emotional battle between love and faith and between freedom and family.

It all leads to a bloody climax in the wild Zagros Mountains, in the cliff-walled trap of an ancient site that has been hidden for centuries,

CHINA 2019

 

“There is something very big and very bad breaking in Wuhan, and you're the closest man I've got.”

Those words precipitated ex SAS captain Mark Falcon into the most desperate mission in his action-packed career, against a silent enemy he could not see and could not fight. He had to get into what had become China's most dangerous city, and get out again.

Almost immediately he had to return, to the wild rugged mountains of Yunan and the vast labyrinth of the bat caves where the world's most deadly virus had been created.

This time he had a crack SAS unit to help him, but there were more complications.

There were two covid conspiracies. One was fomented by the shadowy clandestine group who called themselves The Davids, and the other plotted by diehard fanatics of China's PLA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wrote the Counter Terror dossiers long before 9/11. The terrorists then were the PLO, the IRA, the Red Brigades and the Japanese Red Army. The series ran to eight novels, the action and the background coming straight out of the news headlines at the time.

 

      If The Simon Larren and Falcon books are again a success then Sapere may also be publishing the Counter terror books.  These books also sold US and European rights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There were other stand alone books, including excursions into the realms of horror and science fiction.
