Altered Perceptions (ePub)

The first novel entitled Altered Perceptions is the first part of a trilogy featuring Andy McPhee and Team Seven of the SIS Black Door Operations. SIS does exist, as do Black Door Ops. What goes on at CDE Porton Down is part factual and part fiction. Although this story is fiction, or you could say factional, the enriched uranium and plutonium did go missing from FBR Dounreay. The Secret Royal Navy program, the Vulcan Project, did take place between the RN and Rolls Royce.

There were two major accidents at FBR Dounreay, and they were covered up. There is still two miles of off-limit shoreline, where pieces of plutonium are being found near Dounreay. Much of what happened in the first book did happen in real life. Some is, of course, pure fiction. Real names have been changed. The majority of the places exist.

Gruinard Island was used by the British Government to test out bacteriological and viral spores of anthrax. The island remained uninhabitable for almost fifty years. The UK has signed up to the Geneva Convention that bans the use of chemical and biological warfare. Yet it continues to make these banned items. The UK is not alone in this. The USA, France, Belgium, Germany, along with the majority of countries in the west, are also part of it. Yet they condemn third-world countries who try to make them, and in some cases, they even supply these countries with the parts required to make them. That is a fact.
