Overseer

From the biblical desert of Qumran, to the covert offices of the British Secret Service. From the dark clouds of a Middle East nuclear holocaust to the sunshine of Florida and the NASA Space Centre, a story unfolds that will determine the future of the world.The plot against mankind spans millennia and time is running short. The only defence is Peter Jennings, the latest Overseer, appointed by the Angels to save the human race from itself. Set apart from his fellow humans by being trained to use all of the powers hidden deep in the human mind.Throughout the ages Overseers have helped the human race to advance. From primitives discovering fire, iron and bronze, to moderns advancing science and technology.This time,the very destiny of mankind is at stake.Peter has three tasks, the like of which no previous Overseer has had to face.• Save the world from holocaust by thwarting the nuclear ambitions of the President of Nair, a megalomaniac who seeks to control the Arab world.• Find the proof that the ancient writings, that guided mankind for centuries, were not the figment of some primitive, but fertile imagination.• And finally, save the United Kingdom from the corruption and betrayal that has penetrated to the highest levels of government.While mindful that he has to keep his powers secret, Peter wheedles his way into EZRA, a little known branch of the British Secret Service. He is sent to Nair to establish the extent of their progress into nuclear science. Soon, he makes a discovery that rings alarm bells back in Britain.With American technology required to deal with Nair, Peter is sent to Florida to work with Dr William Richards, a brilliant physicist, with one unfortunate failing. He would rather be solving the ancient mysteries of the Torah than developing the world's most fearsome weapon.In a battle against time, Peter and Dr Richards must free the world of the tyranny that threatens to destroy it.The help they need can only come from the distant past but can they unlock the secrets of the ancient writings in time?And just how does the number eleven, that features so prominantly in the modern world, connect the past to the present?This book introduces the world to the Overseer. An extraordinary man, armed only with the hidden powers of his mind. Powers that one day, if he can keep the secrets of mankind's destiny, may evolve to you and me. I'm 5 foot 10, well nourished and with a happy disposition (life's too short to waste with regrets and melancholy). I have recently moved back to South Wales after four years in Australia. The Gold Coast in Queensland was beautiful and I was so glad of the opportunity.I served for twelve years in the Royal Air Force and since demob, in 1972, was employed in insurance, retail and the building industry.I have always been interested in history and enjoy many of the programmes from the History channel. My reading tastes are varied, relishing stories from Dickens and Mark Twain to Lee Child and Frederick Forsyth. My musical tastes are very middle of the road with my favourite musical decades being the forties and fifties. Besides writing ( I'm never happier than when composing stories), my main hobbies comprise DIY and computers.My website says a lot more about me and where I come from. We have traced the family tree back to 498, within living memory of Roman Britain...take a look and see how we did it...All is revealed at www.rcudlow.com.
