Children of Tender Years
Like so much intelligence work, the assignment seemed routine. Malik knew what was required of go through the motions, make no political waves, wrap it all up in a nothing-to-worry-about report. This time, however, things weren't so simple.

Yet another blockbuster
I’m a great fan of Ted Allebeury and have been working my way through the library of his books. Most of them are very easy reads with excellent story lines, they span from the Second World War through to recent times including the Cold War period.
This particular book was set out along a different aspect and in the early chapters I was not too enthused. However, as the book progressed it became more and more enthralling! Not one to be missed . . . .

To put it bluntly this was a boring as the excretions from a bat.
I was not excited by this one very much at all.
I know there are some decent Allbeury books out there, because I have read them, to quote a football book from the 1980's not this time Maroons!
