This fast-moving political thriller about conspiracy, intrigue, terrorism and murder takes the reader back from the late 1990s to the political upheavals in the 1930s that led to the Second World War and the momentous 1945 Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in the US. In 1999, Paul Cane, a freelance investigative journalist, uncovers secret documents in a Cotswolds cottage written by a dead nuclear physicist which reveal the existence of a secret organization named the New Order that is bent on world domination. It is conspiring with al-Qaeda to destroy New York and London on the eve of the millennium.
Cane accepts an invitation to an international press conference at the White House in Washington where he is duped by the CIA into working with them. At the conference Cane meets Valerie Day, who eventually becomes the love of his life. Since the documents Cane possesses contain the coded names of leading members of the New Order, he becomes their murder target. With the help of US agents and a veteran nuclear scientist, he embarks on a mission to discover their identities and the secret behind the millennium bomb plot. With the threat of destruction of two capital cities and millions of lives at risk, it’s a race against time to find the bombs and those responsible.
This exciting story with its many characters has twists and turns that will hold the reader to the last page. It has a tentative connection to the 2022 Russian attack on Ukraine.

Here's what readers have to say about this book....
David Tolfree's, The Millennium Secret', is founded in the early days of nuclear research and the development of the first atomic bomb, when so much was shrouded in mystery and secrecy in the first half of the last century. Fast forward to more recent events, and the discovery of secret papers in a Cotswold cottage that leads the investigative journalist, Paul Cane, to surpass his journalistic endeavours in unravelling the evil intent of a group planning a massive change in world power, to unearth a conspiracy with earth shattering consequences in a race against time to save thousands of lives and maintain world peace and order. This is a great read coupling scientific discovery and endeavour, how appropriate controls get mismanaged, the international effort to stop a modern-day catastrophe, and at the same time keeping us grounded with a developing romance along the way. Leaving us all with the thought In today's world and the conflict created by certain major powers jostling for territory and control, could this really happen?' In the The Millennium Secret', David Tolfree gives us a challenging story for the times.
A complex but engaging story in which the author's scientific background is evident. Given the period the story covers, the plot line is authentic, a time when terrorist activities was increasing and major incidents were about to happen. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and recommend as a well placed exciting story.
