How very odd. I\u2019ve got a book about that. I wrote it in 1983 and published it on Amazon in 2017.\u00a0 This was the review by Geoffrey Wansell in the Daily Mail:<\/p>\n

Former Daily Mail reporter Passmore first wrote this novel in 1983, when it was dismissed by publishers as \u2018a little far-fetched\u2019. How wrong they were.<\/p>\n

Featuring a new Left-wing British Prime Minister committed to scrapping the Trident missile fleet, a Russian President meddling in foreign elections and a U.S. President determined to put his country first, it feels astonishingly contemporary.<\/p>\n

The plot revolves around a Trident submarine captain and his Admiral father intent on ensuring Britain keeps its nuclear options open, a newspaper reporter and a secretary in the Defence office who falls into a honeytrap set by Russian intelligence.<\/p>\n

Fast-moving and immensely prescient, there are echoes of the early works of Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth \u2014 and that is no faint praise.<\/p>\n

The tragedy is that it remained hidden in the author\u2019s attic for 34 years. Let us hope he has time to write many more.<\/p>\n
