Bluebolt One

By Philip McCutchan

On a dreary London evening, Commander Esmonde Shaw leaves his pile of paperwork in the Admiralty and heads home to Barons Court. 

Yet what should have been a routine evening is disturbed by the discovery of a body underground … a gruesome murder which is traced by Naval Intelligence to the troubled region of Nogolia in West Africa, the site location of the British-American radio station which controls the nuclear missile satellite BLUEBOLT.

From this Nogolian radio station, nuclear missiles can be directed to any target on earth.

Aside from the fears of accidental detonation at the hands of corrupt political powers is the mysterious cult of Edo, a troubled and hazardous movement gripped by the power of voodoo, sweeping across the continent of Africa like wildfire with no mercy for anyone who dares to question it.

Natives are on the verge of revolt and as spiritual and scientific powers collide, the security of BLUEBOLT ONE and the world are at stake …

Commander Shaw soon finds himself in the depths of the African jungle on a grave and treacherous mission, searching for a man called Edo with a brief to halt his plans for world power and destruction…

Philip McCutchan (1920-1996) was a British author who grew up near Portsmouth dockyard and maintained a lifelong interest in the sea and military history.

He served on war ships during WWII including the cruiser Vindictive, the escort carrier Ravager and the ocean boarding vessel Largs, ending the war as a Lieutenant, RNVR

He wrote over 80 books about the British army and its campaigns, including the Halfhyde Adventure series, the Commander Shaw series and the James Ogilvie series. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Duncan MacNeil and Robert Conington.
