A COMEDY OF TERROR

I worked long and hard on this book for a retired journalist by the name of John Scully. It’s an amazing book if I do say so myself. I feel as if it’s “my baby” (alas, it isn’t!). All I did was edit it, cover it, publish it. I did improve it a tad; the author will agree. Fiction allows John Scully to reveal secrets that would place many lives in danger (including that of the author) had the real identities and events been published. Libyan, IRA, and British spies are at the heart of the plots. Nightmares and grotesque humour are used by Scully to peer into hellholes beyond his reach. The book is the brutal and macabre story revealed by Scully–fiction based on raw, deadly truths uncovered by him during his career as an investigative and war journalist for the BBC, CBC, and CTV. The book focuses on arms dealing and terrorism in the 70s and 80s but is a lesson about today’s super powers as the world again descends into nuclear dread and secret deals that could have desperate consequences for us all. Scully has by-passed the cantankerous big publishing houses this time and went with a small Halifax, Nova Scotia, publisher (that would be me!!!). He hopes you’ll find this, his third book, compelling and essential reading. (I hope so, too!) The book is available on Amazon; or locally from either the author or the publisher.
