Summary
Details

""The McAllister Contingency"" is a riveting thriller set against the backdrop of Cold War-era geopolitics and secret military operations. At the heart of the novel is Mike McAllister, a Sergeant in the Royal Air Force's Special Investigations Branch (SIB), whose life takes a sharp turn when he's assigned to investigate a potential breach of national security at a top-secret defense facility in Australia.

Set in 1976, McAllister's journey begins in Cornwall, where his seemingly idyllic life is disrupted by sudden orders to leave his post. Thrust into a web of secrecy, espionage, and betrayal, McAllister is sent to Australia under the guise of working on a high-stakes project at the Defense Science and Technology Organization (DSTO). His mission: to uncover the truth behind missing blueprints for a cutting-edge naval defense system called Sea Wolf, a technology that could shift the balance of power.

But the investigation takes a darker turn when a colleague, Lucy Andrews, is brutally murdered, her body found in the murky waters of the Port River. McAllister must now navigate a perilous world of covert operations, political intrigue, and dangerous adversaries. Along the way, he uncovers hidden agendas and faces enemies determined to stop him at any cost.

With each twist and revelation, ""The McAllister Contingency"" keeps readers on the edge of their seats, blending fast-paced action with rich, atmospheric details. As McAllister gets closer to the truth, he must confront his own past and decide how far he's willing to go to stop a global conspiracy. Alex Auburn delivers a gripping and unforgettable story about loyalty, courage, and the devastating consequences of power in the wrong hands.
