The Samson Option by Murray Davies

A terrifyingly realistic novel of biological terrorism in Britain. In 1998 the British Government issued a public warning to all ports and airports of a possible terrorist threat. It was withdrawn almost as quickly as it was issued, but it was enough to form a starting point for Murray Davies's second block-busting novel after The Drumbeat of Jimmy Sands. Davies is himself a famed investigative journalist and he has built a stunning scenario in which an Iraqi terrorist -- himself under threat of a terrifying reprisal from Sadam Hussein -- attempts to bring in to the UK a flask of almost unimaginably destructive bacteria. Set against the threat is a small team of experts and soldiers and spooks in Whitehall. But even here somebody seems to be leaking information.
'Seriously arresting thriller, at once convincing and compelling' The Scotsman 'Clever, poignant, expertly-crafted piece of story-telling, which robbed me of a night's sleep' Anton Antonowicz, The Mirror 'A rattling yarn.. well-researched, thoroughly good read' Glasgow Herald 'A gripping thriller with tremendous pace' Sunday Mirror
Murray Davies has been a national press journalist for the last 20 years, before which he took a doctorate in First World War poetry. A Welshman, he has travelled all over the world in pursuit of such stories as the civil war in Angola, famine in Ethiopia, mercenaries in Zaire and the conflict in Bosnia.
