    About this ebook

    In the 1970s and 1980s world politics took a turn for the worse. In Ireland there had been a proliferation of paramilitary organizations and the 'Provisional' wing of the IRA had stepped up its campaign and the 'Troubles' escalated. In its efforts to combat these events the British government recruited numerous agents, 'Agent Provocateurs' and informers all of whom worked for different handlers and agencies, so it was no wonder that from time to time lines of communication became confused and things went wrong. At home the bigger picture was one of the 'Cold War', where relations between the UK and the Soviet block had deteriorated to a point where even the Territorial Army was busy training units in guerrilla warfare in readiness should there be a Russian invasion.

    In this the second part of the ferryman trilogy the reader is introduced to the world of the 'Circus' where it's every man for himself, where dog eats dog. Richard James, as a new agent, returns to England where he is trained in new skills necessary to survive in the world of espionage and the IRA. Upon completion of his training he is ordered to return to Ireland and await further instructions, whereupon he quickly becomes enmeshed in the dangerous, shady world of gun runners, terrorists and British Intelligence. As events unfold he begins to realise the true purpose of his mission and it's not only the IRA who is the enemy!

    Who are the people watching Sean O'Donald's widow? Who was behind his murder? Is  Richard under surveillance or is it a figment of his imagination?

    The gripping and powerful story - portrays the truth behind the headlines and at times borders on the disturbing and scary to such an extent you begin to question who really is the enemy? It offers us a real insight into 'The Troubles', and the operation must, no it will succeed as failure is not an option.
