Broken Helix

By David C Ayre

Alan Westbrook, an electronics and software engineer, has developed software that could be of enormous benefit to mankind, but could also unleash worldwide disaster. Governments, including his own, would go to any lengths to obtain his software, as would an individual with agendas of his own.
Should Alan just give in and sell it to one of them, whatever the consequences, or should he just disappear into the countryside and hide? Or perhaps he could just destroy everything he had worked for. But it is a hard thing to destroy your own brainchild, and what would happen if he secretly continued to develop his Life-threatening software in the hope that he could restrict its use for the good of mankind?
But it will be hard to go into hiding, looking over your shoulder all the time expecting someone to catch up with you at any moment.
A tense thriller with a touch of humour.

Tony and Dianne Mason, Auckland, New Zealand gave this review: -
I'd like to let you know how much Dianne and I enjoyed reading 'Broken Helix' and perhaps I should add "I couldn't put the book down". A good story and great, likeable main characters (also very pleased the villains always got their comeuppance) - rather reminiscent of Francis Durbridge's adventures of Paul Temple and Steve. I did mention that I was a slow reader, but I finished your book within a week. Can't wait for the next book in the series; 'Where There's Life'.
