Description

Coded documents revealing the identities of every UNACO agent have been stolen, puttling every agency life at risk. The ransom is huge but the criminal mastermind is also threatening to launch nuclear missiles if UNACO refuse to cooperate. With the clock ticking, can UNACO survive
A major crisis threatens UNACO. In a terrifying attack at Lisbon airport a world-renowned cryptologist is captured along with vital coded documents about the operations of this top-secret security organization.

The UNACO team is immediately called in. Mike Graham, Sabrina Carver and C.W. Whitlock soon find themselves caught up in a desperate race to track down the files before they can be decoded.

Before long, they realize they are dealing with one of the most successful and dangerous minds of the former Soviet Union - and, worse still, they are under threat at home from someone with the power to blow their cover.

A pulsating story that builds to a nail-biting climax, Alistair MacLeans Code Breaker is a thriller worthy of the master himself. It is the sixth novel to be written by Alastair MacNeill from a MacLean story outline.

Author Bio

Alastair MacNeill was born in Greenock, Scotland in 1960. His family emigrated to South Africa when he was six, settling in the coastal city of East London. On finishing school he did a three year course in hotel management at the Hotel School in Johannesburg but, having nurtured a keen interest in writing since his teens, he returned to the United Kingdom in 1985 hoping to pursue a career as a writer. He submitted a manuscript to HarperCollins Publishers and, on the strength of it, was offered the chance to write a novel based on an outline by the late Alistair MacLean. He eventually wrote seven novels based on MacLean synopses and has also written five novels under his own name. He lives in Sheffield.
