Product Description

Review

"'Scotland's very own Michael Crichton' Aberdeen Evening Express 'Well-wrought, plausible and unnerving' The Times"


Product Description

When a vaccine designed by British scientists becomes contaminated in a freak accident, military leaders decide that it must remain a secret. Twelve years later veterans are dying from a 'Gulf War Syndrome'. Dr George Sebring, the British scientist responsible for the vaccine mistake, has been found murdered. Yet doubts about the existence of the syndrome still exist even though thousands of veteran troops are continuing to die in their own homes. The pressure on those that know the truth is growing. A chilling and tense military thriller from an emerging master of the genre: Ken McClure.

5.0 out of 5 stars McClure`s Best Book To Date, 15 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gulf Conspiracy (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Gulf Conspiracy, 5 Aug 2004
By Simon Fraser (DUNDEE, TAYSIDE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Gulf Conspiracy (Paperback)
This was the first Ken McClure novel I have read, and I have to record how good a read it was. The subject of Gulf Syndrome is very topical, and the storyline is very believable. It was very difficult separating what is fact, from what is fiction. The last fifty or sixty pages of the book were great, and I could not put the book down till I had finished it. Should be made into a mini series/ TV film. Well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars 007 with Brains.... that's Dr Steven Dunbar, 5 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gulf Conspiracy (Paperback)
I was lucky I was on vacation, because I got this book Wednesday and just couldn't put it down. The Gulf Conspiracy is just one of those books that you dont know what bit is true and what's fiction. I know some guys that were in the Gulf and I've heard some interesting stories from them. I've read some other books by the author Ken McClure : Wildcard, etc and this character in the books, Steven Dunbar, is some sort of scientific ex-Special Forces action hero like Jack Ryan/ James Bond. He doesn't hang about.

A gripping medical thriller which I guess is the best book I've read for a long long time. Highly recommended, even if you're not on vacation !

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
This book is advertised at an intense investigation thriller. I did not find it much of an investigation or thrilling. Read more
