The Olympics will be the biggest event in London
in most of our lifetimes. Thousands of athletes, tens of thousands of
spectators, and most of the world’s leaders, all gathering in the same place.
But it will be something else as well - probably the
greatest single terrorist target in the UK
in recent history.
We’ve already seen lots of stuff in the papers about the
planning by the security forces. Missile bases on roof tops across East
London . Speed boats on the Thames . Hundreds
of extra police and soldiers flooding the area.
And that is just the stuff they are telling us about.
No doubt there is a lot more going on behind the scenes.
So it seemed to me a natural subject for a thriller. What if
there was a terror plot to destroy the opening ceremony? And what if there was
a sleeper within the security forces themselves? A man who had stayed hidden
for years, who would strike when the moment was right.
That was the starting point for my new e-book ‘Black Ops:
Olympics’.
The great thing about the new brand of e-novella like this
one is that you can rip them straight from the headlines, and get them out to
people while an issue is still topical.
It worked for Black Ops: Libya .
And I’m sure it will work for this book as well.
