About the Book
Sam has never questioned orders before. But everything looks different in the shadow of the Bomb…
The Cold War rumbles on, and a top-secret naval base in Scotland is now the home of Britain’s nuclear arsenal.
As second-in-command of a Polaris submarine, Sam, along with his elite band of comrades, must learn to love the Bomb — or at least to tolerate it. Between deterrent patrol exercises, he does his best to lead a normal life with his wife Janet and three children.
Sam’s been trained to do whatever the Navy requires of him. But after a chance encounter with protesters from a nearby peace camp — including their charismatic leader El Tel and the beautiful, enigmatic Mary Carmichael – he finds himself questioning everything.
And as he’s torn between ambition and principle, soon his future in the Navy is on the line…
Can Sam’s conscience cope with a duty unlike any other? And with such bitter political controversy centred on the Polaris programme, can his home life stand the strain?
Is a weapon that could destroy the planet about to spell the end of Sam’s world?
Based on real-life events, POLARIS is a gripping and authentic military thriller with themes of duty and conscience.
