Sandy Mason releases 'Silver Voyage'.

Hi Sandy Mason Fans

'Silver Voyage' is Sandy Mason's latest book – released in March 2015.

'Silver Voyage' is a fictional story based upon the wartime service of Alan Turing - the brilliant British mathematician. As the story unfolds, Turing’s actions and those of his assistant, have ramifications leading to events in modern times. 

Both men are working feverishly to reduce the number of casualties in World War II. Their well intentioned contributions to science become a source of greed and murder.

The main character in 'Silver Voyage' is modeled after William Higinbotham, a great mathematician in his own right. Higinbotham, like Turing, contributed greatly to the war effort. Their dedication saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Alan Turing's actual life is depicted in the movie, 'The Imitation Game'. The movie provides an excellent view into wartime England, in particular the environment which surrounded the code breakers. Turing himself committed suicide at age 41 after being hounded by the British government for his gay life style. He laced an apple with cyanide, took a few bites and ended his tormented life.

The portion of 'Silver Voyage' detailing Alan Turing is, for the most part, pure fiction. There is evidence that Turing hid some silver bars during the war which were never found. 'Silver Voyage' is the mostly fictional story of what happened to that silver.

Sandy Mason’s favorite character Johnny Donohue is called upon to find the hidden silver and protect the reputation of top atomic scientist  ‘Willie’ Haggerty. He must unravel a modern day murder and save his childhood sweetheart, Jane Haggerty, from international criminals. Johnny is playing a difficult game competing against a sea of professionals who will stop at nothing to walk off with secret Nazi treasure.

Meanwhile Johnny’s love life is spiraling out of control with the strong pull of his previous world calling to him. Johnny’s relationship with Carmen is in dire need of repair after his long absence from her side. Both women may choose another way to go as life’s choices may be sending Johnny in a new direction.

Hope you enjoy the  book. All of Sandy’s books are available from Amazon in both paper and electronic form.
