Sergeant Jack Hardman of 45 Commando Royal Marines has reached the end of his twelve-year engagement and has resisted the suggestion from his colonel to sign on for further service. To Hardman’s surprise he is offered an interview in London for a position in Government security, which turns out to be in MI6 and is the start of a very exciting chapter in his life.

We follow his adventures in Pakistan and the Middle East, where life is cheap and often short. A dramatic situation arises when an unconfirmed report suggests Pakistan has lost one of its many nuclear ear heads. Either London or the United States is thought to be the target of terrorists in possession of this war head.

Hardman finds he is working with some strange people and in some very dangerous situations. Two women both very different, assist him in these duties, leading to a dramatic conclusion when London and the South East of England come under threat.

The advance of modern technology has been both dramatic and a great aid to communication. Mobile phones now not only have the ability to send messages and take photographs of a stunning quality, but they can store a seemingly endless amount of information. Computers have now been developed to a degree where it seems they can almost think.

A program of great complexity can now be inserted into a computer and it will carry out its function without error, surpassing anything its previous human operator could achieve. But there is a downside. In our world there are always forces for good and evil, and the battle between them never ends.

In The Key to Armageddon we begin to see what the free world may face if the dark forces manage to gain the upper hand in this developing technology. Take a breath and read on. . . . .
