This fast-moving political thriller about conspiracy, intrigue, terrorism and murder takes the reader back from the late 1990s to the political upheavals in the 1930s that led to the Second World War and the momentous 1945 Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in the US. In 1999, Paul Cane, a freelance investigative journalist, uncovers secret documents in a Cotswolds cottage written by a dead nuclear physicist which reveal the existence of a secret organization named the New Order that is bent on world domination. It is conspiring with al-Qaeda to destroy New York and London on the eve of the millennium.

Cane accepts an invitation to an international press conference at the White House in Washington where he is duped by the CIA into working with them. At the conference Cane meets Valerie Day, who eventually becomes the love of his life. Since the documents Cane possesses contain the coded names of leading members of the New Order, he becomes their murder target. With the help of US agents and a veteran nuclear scientist, he embarks on a mission to discover their identities and the secret behind the millennium bomb plot. With the threat of destruction of two capital cities and millions of lives at risk, it's a race against time to find the bombs and those responsible.

This exciting story with its many characters has twists and turns that will hold the reader to the last page. It has a tentative connection to the 2022 Russian attack on Ukraine.
