Wu's Revenge

Could terrorists use nuclear weapons emanating from China?

Coincidence it may be, but after the tragic events on 11 September 2001 the world is a far less safe place and the West is on its guard.

This story written before 11 September is fiction. But the fact that it could have happened has turned out to be only too real.

The link between the Chinese and the Taliban has been disclosed.

A Chinese delegation was in Kabul signing a trade and technical cooperation deal with the Taliban only hours before the fatal terrorist attacks on the US.

Pakistan's nuclear capability is based on the Chinese M11 and facilitated by Chinese and North Korean technical assistance.

It is well known too that Iraq has been equipped with Chinese surface to air missiles.

WU'S REVENGE charts the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and the ruthless methods of the Secret Service in their quest to maintain power.

It begins with the formation of the Chinese Secret Service in the 1920s and follows the progress of its key character, Wu, through to the present.

The action moves from China through Hong Kong to Britain and the United States. The story of intrigue is skilfully interwoven to make the reader uncertain whether it is fact or fiction?

You'll have to read it to decide. Hill, writing under a pen name, has been involved in the world of international intelligence and military politics, giving him access to information to provide a vivid background to the actions that take place in his novel.
