The Prime-Minister, the Government, the Book...

Yep, this is an absolute 100 percent, bona fide, shameless, outrageous (etc, etc) plug for my book A Covert Agenda - the one that seemingly attracted the attention of a few people in the British Ministry of Defense and Prime Minister Tony Blair's office in 1997.

While the original UK edition is still available (even, technically, in "new" condition), it is not actually being reprinted anymore and hasn't been for a very long time.

However, the US edition (pictured) is still in print.

End of shameless plug!

Me, UFOs and Tony Blair!

Back in 1997, when my first book, A Covert Agenda, was published, a copy of it was sent to the then British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

And, since the book contained pretty much all the then-very-limited amount of official UFO documentation in the public domain, I sent a letter with the book, along the lines of: "Oi, Tony! Give us the Government's UFO files!"

Well, it seems this provoked a bit of a back and forth debate behind-closed-doors about the book, some of which related to an extract from A Covert Agenda that appeared in England's People newspaper, as well as a couple of other items.

The newly-released documents (which I now have) aren't in any way spectacular, nor do they demonstrate anything more than a cursory glance at the book, and probably a weary sigh or several from the suits in the Ministry of Defense! But, they're worth a look.

And here's the story from the BBC.
