Book Cover & Preview Text
Elizabeth lay on the hard bunk, the leather straps across her stomach and her breasts stopped her from turning anything but her head, but she could see her daughter on a similar bunk across the small cellar similarly strapped down.
" Don,t worry my love, we,ll get out of this somehow," she was trying hard to sound convincing," just hang on in there, and try not to struggle, you,ll only hurt yourself."
" Where are we Mum," Helen moaned," I,m thirsty.
Her mother wished she had some answers for her daughter, all she knew was that they,d made a flight of two or three hours, and that they,d been drugged before that. What was worrying Elizabeth more than all that was John. He,d been out with his friends on the Saturday afternoon so the men who she supposed had kidnapped her and Helen must have missed him. He would be frantic when he arrived home to an empty house.
The smell of rotting vegetables of some sort drifted into the cellar Elizabeth wondered if they were stored somewhere close. In the back of her mind the smell nudged a small corner of her memory.

About the Book
The Goosegrass Project is a story set in 2019. With Western Europe slowly but surely being taken over by the hoards of Islam, not through the terrorist route but through sheer weight of numbers. A group of extreme right wing fanatics, basing their thinking on the 400 year old Christian power brotherhood The Knights of St John, use kidnapping and death threats to attempt to turn the tide. A gloomy picture of the future if the story is to be believed. Set partly in Malta, Brittany, and the South of France. Alan Grantham, an electronics designer, his wife Elizabeth, their two young children John and Helen, find their life turned upside down by a man named Randolph J Hunt.
