Description
Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by Peter George
It is the height of the Cold War and the two power-blocs stand on the brink of war. On a routine patrol, US bombers receive a coded message. Doomsday has arrived; the fight for democracy, freedom and bodily fluids has just gone nuclear…
The official novelisation of the classic film, Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a hilarious and provocative satire of the madness of Mutually Assured Destruction. Featuring impotent generals, a sieg-heiling scientist and one very Big Board, this is how the world ends, not with a whimper, but enough megatonnage to make you abandon monogamy.
Written by Peter George, co-screenwriter of the film and author of Two Hours to Doom, the novel that inspired it, this brand-new edition also features a foreword by David George and the never-before-published Strangeloves Theory, a short story on the mastermind as a younger man.
Based on Stanley Kubricks film Dr Strangelove. Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, Peter George and Terry Southern.
Pattern of Death by Peter George
Pattern of Death is a twisted spy thriller which embraces the echoing heights of the sky, nefarious nightclubs of London, and quaint 1950s English countryside.
Driscoll, an unconventional man – who believes that the ends always justified the means – is called in to combat foreign agents, but not before many people have died, and others have been revealed as something very different to their supposed identities.
This book rejoices in the violent pattern of death caused by mistrust, jingoism and the need to stay alive.
