 The novel, Sex, Spies and Rock & Roll  by Alan Coulson welcomes you to the seamy side of the top secret British Intelligence organization M.I.6.  The British set out to sabotage a weapon of mass destruction, a supergun that can fire shells from Syria deep into Israel.  At stake is the security of the Middle East.          In this critical undercover mission M.I.6. field agent Dr. Livingstone and his team are sent to California to neutralize the key players, the scientists who make the Supergun work.  These scientists are bonded by a dirty little secret, pedophilia.  In a shocking and dangerous plot, M.I.6. deliberately exploits this weakness using Penny, a young sex worker, to disable them with a deadly neurovirus.         

Action is on an international scale.  From Porton, Britain’s top secret biological warfare headquarters the scene shifts to Amsterdam where an M.I.6. team snatches Penny from a businessman’s sex club.   Sexual tension and terrorist menace haunt the M.I.6. team.  When the Great War ended and Britain’s bacteriological warfare program was formally established, the Holland Committee stated in 1926, “Under certain circumstances no weapon would be considered too awful to use in the defense of the Realm.”  M.I.6. shows it can go one step further by adding the cynical exploitation of young people.  And intelligence agent Dr. Livingstone has to find a way to deal with the moral dilemma this unleashes.         

The harrowing end game explodes in Berkeley Children’s Hospital.  In the pediatric intensive care unit children and adolescent cancer victims, some on ventilators, struggle to cling to life as they receive chemotherapy.  But right there in the midst of the heart defibrillators and intravenous machines M.I.6. and Syrian terrorists create a bloody battlefield as they fight to the death.
