In a village outside Edinburgh, there is doubt that a genetically modified crop being grown is actually the one licensed by the government. Steven Dunbar, a medical investigator with Sci-Med is sent to investigate, but finds that the farmer who made the complaints, Thomas Rafferty, is a well known drunk. Rafferty has also applied for accreditation as an organic farmer, with the backing of two venture capitalists — who turn out to be ex-SAS, and possibly still working for the government in some capacity.

As Steven investigates further his own life comes under threat, as does the survival of the village, and he must band together with his few allies to solve the mystery of the original complaint and the ever larger picture which slowly becomes clearer...

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, 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.

When the Crick Research Institute is broken into the police believe that it was Animal Rights activists taking things a step too far. But one of the Institute's top scientists, Tim Devon, is found brutally murdered and six research monkeys have been let loose. No one seems to know exactly what the monkeys were being used for and government officials arrive a little too promptly to prevent any of Prof. Devon's colleagues from finding out exactly what he was researching.

Steven Dunbar gets the news that an old friend, Dr Simone Ricard of Medicins Sans Frontieres, has died in an accident while attending a scientific meeting in Prague. She and her team have been working to eradicate polio in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan and have discovered a possible reason for their failure to do so — fake teams put in by the CIA. She has gone to Prague to publicise this but the meeting organisers won’t let her speak — they already know the reason and have accepted the CIA apology. They think it will only make matters worse if wider publicity is sought.

Dr Steven Dunbar, ex Special Forces medic and chief investigator with the Sci-Med Inspectorate, comes across apparent interference with front-line medical research in the UK. Funding for Professor Dorothy Lindstrom, a leading neuroscientist who has recently returned home to the UK after a tragic fire took the lives of two of her young colleagues at Yale University, has been completely blocked. Professor Lindstrom, a feisty character who has made more than a few enemies over the years, and her research group, who have been making dramatic progress in the new field of epigenetics which deals with genetic influences on human behaviour are upset and angry but feel helpless. One of the group, Dr Owen Barrowman who has been looking for genetic and biochemical differences in convicted psychopathic killers held in secure establishments across the UK is particularly upset as he believes he is on the brink of a major discovery. He is determined to complete his research before the money runs out despite Steven’s warning about the dangers of being continually exposed to evil. His warnings go unheeded with tragic consequences.
