Bücher von Guy Blythman

A team of eminent British scientists are closeted on Belleisle, off the remote Cornish coast, working on the Theory Of Everything - the quest to identify the mysterious factor that links together the fundamental forces governing the universe and effectively explains how it works. But although the isolated location may have the effect of concentrating the mind, the Grand Theory is proving elusive and their research is leading nowhere, causing tensions torise. Then one of them is murdered. Is the killer a religious fundamentalist, afraid of the implications of the project for faith? Does the crime have its origins in the jealousies and rivalries of academe? Or was the motive something different from either of those? One thing is clear, as DI Alec Monro, head of a special Scotland Yard unit which investigates high-profile crimes, soon discovers. Further lurid incidents suggest someone is prepared to stop at nothing to ensure the truth is never revealed...

As an Asperger Syndrome "sufferer", life for Guy Blythman has not been easy, if anything because his condition leaves his rational faculties, and his ability to empathise, intact; but it has certainly been interesting. Here he tells his story, the funny moments as well as the sad, the sublime as well as the ridiculous. Though many of his experiences have been the same as others' it serves as a commentary on how a society supposedly concerned with equality and diversity actually treats those who are different. But if you want light(?) relief there are the difficulties with girls, the kinky cats, the recalci- trant gas fitters, et al...

Ace oil troubleshooter Caroline Kent has had some difficult assignments in her time. But the problems faced by International Petroleum Ltd in the developing West African state of Kambata seem especially intractable. There, Caroline finds herself caught between militants whose activities threaten to disrupt the oil production, and thus to some extent damage the nation's prosperity, and a corrupt and inefficient − yet brutal − government which doesn't seem to want to take them on. To make matters worse, there are allegations that IPL itself has been guilty of dodgy practices. If she wishes to present the acceptable face of capitalism she must find out whether they are true, and take the necessary action.While behind the scenes a murky political conspiracy is unfolding, which threatens to ensnare Caroline in its web…as well as backfire disastrously on the plotters…

When the opportunity arises for a weekend break in a pleasantly secluded part of the Cornish coast, Caroline Kent gladly takes it. Little does she know that it will lead to a terrifying adventure with supernatural forces, weapons of mass destruction and an apocalyptic plan to reverse over a thousand years of history; all centred on a grim old house on a cliff overlooking the sea, inhabited by a strange family with a very dark secret.

Is a selection of writings by indie author Guy Blythman, many of them originally submitted to the writers' workshop Walton Wordsmiths. Here you will find the funny, the macabre, the bawdy, the thought−provoking, the disturbing and the uplifting all within the pages of one book. Science fiction, the supernatural and political satire get a look−in and there are analyses of such serious subjects as the sexiness of swimwear and whether blondes are as dumb/awful as people make out. While humour is not forsaken dark moments will be experienced, as when greed and foolishness unleash the sometimes destructive forces from worlds beyond this one, and hypocrisy rebounds on the hypocrite with terrible consequences…

Like much of my writing this is a combination of political thriller and science fiction. An ambitious young oil executive and troubleshooter is sent to investigate mysterious goings-on at an oilrig in the middle of the bleak North Sea, and finds herself in a nerve-wracking, life threatening situation which forces her to re-examine the ethics and purpose of the industry she works for, and the pollution it causes.

An eminent scientist disappears while on an expedition to the Amazon; several of his colleagues return to the West in a trance-like state, talking of a mysterious lost civilisation who seem to have been more advanced than our own and who built a machine which, if it exists, could solve all the world's energy problems. A machine they called the Eye of the Sun God.Meanwhile ambitious young oil troubleshooter Caroline Kent accepts a posting to a refinery in the troubled South American state of Camaragua. There, she finds herself drawn into a battle of wits with ruthless drug baron Otto Viellar, who wants his products to be the country's chief source of revenue and sees International Petroleum Ltd as a threat to his interests. But in this potentially bloody and vicious struggle far more is at stake than the future of IPL Camaragua; for Viellar, too, has found out about the Eye of the Sun God, and it has other uses than peaceful ones. If it falls into his hands, it could give him the power to rule the entire world...
