About the Book

Managing the world's richest diamond mine in former German South West Africa, Harvey Tremayne clashes with a colonial resistance group, intent on restoring their homeland. They smuggle diamonds destined for the Nazi military rearmament programme. Tremayne got in their way. They killed his wife. Driven by revenge, his hunt for them takes him to places even more dangerous than the terror-filled trenches of his WW1 service. He's drawn into the shadowy world of British Secret Intelligence, who are hunting the same enemy but for a different reason. Amid sizzling tensions, days before World War 2 is declared, the web of intrigue and murder he uncovers stretches from Tangier to the diamond-rich Forbidden Zone in the blistering Namib Desert. This land is merciless and treats the hunter and the hunted with equal contempt. And offshore, the icy sea guards the land with its own deadly secrets. Brought alive by a vibrant backdrop and warts-and-all characters, this fast-paced action thriller delivers from the start until its startling and dramatic finale

About the Author :
Jon Gliddon is a retired mining engineer and lives with his wife and three cats on the edge of the Mendip Hills in North Somerset. An early interest in writing was put on hold whilst raising a family and building a career. With retirement on the horizon, the prospect of writing a novel came to the fore. A visit to the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum on a trip to Cornwall was the catalyst. The picturesque location, the amazing technology and the strategic nature of the telegraph in WWII, provided the focus for his first WW2 action thriller, Break in Communication. Jon's second book was motivated by research into his Grandfather's experiences in WW1. Mud, Blood & Bayonet, The Story of the 6th Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment 1918 day by day, is drawn from military and personal WW1 diaries. The book was published on 1st January 2018 to mark the Centenary year. His second novel, The Forbidden Zone, is scheduled to be published later in 2020. This action thriller is set in August 1939 in the diamond-rich former German South West Africa, now the Republic of Namibia, a country that the author visited many times.

Review :
There’s a reason why the Namib Desert can be called a Forbidden Zone . . . It takes an insider to know this place and to be able to spin a tale about it – which Jon Gliddon is. https://sevencircumstances.com/
