Chameleon by Ken McClure
3.5 stars
This was an enjoyable story about a government cover-up and would make a good film, but I found the language rather ripe and quite unnecessary.
The Gulf Conspiracy is a good to listen [or read] to and focuses on government conspiracies and cover up. There is, naturally, the incident which has to be hushed up and then the good guy tracks down potential sources of information, often with dire consequences.
The end was a bit brief for me – like driving a car into a brick wall [not that I have ever done that; I settled for going over the handlebars of my motorbike]. The ride is enjoyable but stopping is severe!

I thought this book was an 'investigative thriller' but it seemed to be nothing more than political meetings without any investigation. I read 60 pages and there was no investigation into anything. In fact there appeared no investigation and nothing thrilling. A story about contamination of vaccine given to soldiers during the gulf war it seemed to me to be told only by describing each meeting with ministers and high ranking army personnel.
I gave up reading it. I suppose I like description narrative that stimulates my imagination.
