Gulf Conspiracy, The

Gulf war syndrome—fact or fiction? Saudi Arabia, 1991. Troops are in a state of high alert. The chemical warfare detectors have sounded and the soldiers scramble into their protective suits. In terse silence, they remind themselves of the vaccinations which will protect them. Then the all-clear sounds, and the troops rejoice that they are unharmed—or so they think.

England, 2002. These same troops are getting ill. Their families are getting ill. Young ex-soldiers are dying. And the survivors are angry. Steven Dunbar, a medical investigator with a Government agency, decides to probe further. But what he discovers shocks him to the core. For the deadliest threat lurks not in the Saudi oilfields, but in the plush boardrooms of Whitehall. And if something isn’t done soon, then more innocent people will die.
