I`ve read all of Ken McClure`s books, and this is my favourite. Its a slight departure from his usual medical thrillers, as it combines the medical background with political conspiracy, and does this very effectively. It features Dr Steven Dunbar, who has appeared in some of McClure`s previous works. His investigation leads him to the death of a scientist involved in developing a vaccine used on British troops prior to the Gulf War, and also a Gulf veteran, claiming the vaccine has left him with a "Gulf War Syndrome". Dr Dunbar tries to get to the truth of what really went into that vaccine, and why people are prepared to kill to keep it secret.
Although, as with all McClure books, this does have a strong medical background, his easy style of writing ensures that this isn`t overwhelming, and the story flows along nicely. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from begining to end.
