Synopsis
When British scientist, Dr Fred Findhorn, is offered a king's ransom by a Japanese corporation to retrieve a briefcase from a Russian military aircraft that crashed fifty years ago, he's naturally intrigued. But finding the briefcase is the start of a deadly race against time as rival groups all stake their claims to its contents - the diary of Lev Petrosian, an East European wartime refugee who worked on the development of the hydrogen bomb. But Petrosian discovered something else - something that could change the course of human history, or put a very sudden end to it...

Cover Art: Lee Gibbons (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2000: A stand-alone novel by Bill Napier. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: 1944. On the shores of a lake near the Canadian border, a group of atomic scientists are gathered for a clandestine meeting. The newly started atom bomb project has run into problems, and the only sane option is to abandon it. But one scientist, the brilliant Armenian Lev Petrosian, has other ideas. Ideas too terrifying to share with his colleagues. More than fifty years later, British scientist Dr Fred Findhorn lands on an unstable Arctic iceberg to rescue a stranded weather research team. His real mission, however, is to recover diaries from the wreckage of a Russian aircraft. An aircraft that also contains the frozen body of Lev Petrosian. But as Findhorn is about to discover, Petrosian's diaries could be the ultimate poisoned chalice. Not only are governments and multinationals willing to kill for them; the secrets they contain could unleash an unimaginable catastrophe:- Review(s): Acclaim for Bill Napier's 'Nemesis': "The most exciting book I have ever read" - Arthur C Clarke / "A stomach-churning thriller. A gripping read" - Scotsman / "Lots of scientific detail. There's also a remarkable twist to the tail of this pacey thriller" - Books Magazine:- (original cost £17.99).
