MI6 Agents need gadgets

My father loved James Bond movies. Whenever a JB movie came out at the theatre, we saw it. Naturally, when I became an author, I had to write a story with at least one MI6 agent. Facing the Enemy, my soon-to-be-released novel (April 4th, 2022), has two agents who needed something cool to play with. (James Bond can't have all the fun, right?) I wanted something fresh, that had never been used before--and it needed to be UK specific. An English friend shared early mountain rescue and military trials taking place in in the UK (Jet suits were in developmental stages at this point). Giddily, I dove headfirst down the research rabbit hole and located an electronic patent for a jet engine. (when writing, plausibility issues can arise if they're too far fetched). So, I modified the gas-fueled prototypes that were in development. Voila! One of my main characters has a shiny new toy.
