A One-Sided Game

by D.C. Stansfield, Adam Sklar (Illustrator)

The man calling himself Charles Hellquist is planning to steal a ton of highly radioactive nuclear waste, the most toxic substance known to man. It would be enough waste to decimate a large city, killing millions and leaving it a wasteland for centuries. He wants to blackmail the UK Government into giving him £500 million sterling.Against him stand three men - Commander Ben Warrington, Head of the MI6 special task force; Jacob Owen, a Field Agent on his way back from a failed mission and David Stanley, a retired Sales Director and sometime spy who has a major problem with MI6. A crime like this has never been attempted before, the stakes are sky high and new rules of engagement are about to be written. One mistake would mean a catastrophe.

[Brynn Elaine]

A One-Sided Game is a tightly wound, high-stakes thriller that delivers exactly what fans of MI6 fiction want: precision, tension, and a plot that escalates with every chapter. Stansfield blends technical detail with character-driven suspense, and the result feels both believable and cinematic. The race to stop a nuclear-level catastrophe keeps the momentum relentless, but there’s also a sharp human element woven through the missions and betrayals. A smart, absorbing thriller from an author who understands the mechanics of espionage storytelling.
