In a controversial move, Ministry of Defence official Nick Pope wrote a science fiction novel about alien invasion. Drawing on his knowledge of crisis management and war planning, he floated some ideas that he would never have been able to include in his non-fiction books about his time running the British Government's UFO project.
This book hit the headlines when it was revealed that it was the first science fiction novel ever to have needed official government clearance prior to its publication. There is ongoing interest from several production companies eager to see this critically acclaimed book made into a film or TV series.
