Aeron: a Welsh Celtic God of Slaughter. Raynor, a young Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) cryptologist and computer wiz kid takes his first holiday in St Petersburg where he falls in love with Natasha. She tells him about Aeron, a man who controls politicians on an international scale. Three months later she is dead, her face destroyed by a sniper's bullet. Raynor is transferred to Perth, Western Australia; someone tries to kill him and MI6 sack him. Others are also looking for Aeron, including a CIA finance controller with an all-consuming hobby of the Conspiracy Theory, and a European Union military security expert who also advises the English Prime Minister. Was Natasha killed by Aeron? The trail takes Raynor to a secret US Marine forward base in NE Afghanistan and then back to Perth. Who is the man who calls himself Aeron? Why was Natasha shot? Why, more and more, does Raynor think he is being pulled first in one direction and then another? Like a puppet on a string trapped in a conspiracy.
