Hastings! Not since the Norman knights of Duke William swarmed ashore had the British been so in peril at the hands of so deadly and devious an enemy. But this is not the distant past, it is the only-too-believable near future, with the superpowers poised on the brink of confrontation and all the gadgetry of the space age serving their agents. And what Hastings means in this new and frightening context is a secret which the intelligence forces of Britain and America must race against time to discover-and defuse.
In Alfred Coppel's masterly new novel of international intrigue and espionage, plot and counterplot, we cut from Capitol Hill to the nerve-centres of Russian strategic planning; from the stately calm of Chequers to the seedy back streets of Whitechapel. The Hastings Conspiracy is not just a marvellous thriller, it is a spine-chilling account of what might easily happen.
