Code Talkers: Rioct Fein (Our Kingdom Alone)

Written in 1996-97 before the Irish Easter Peace Accord, Code Talkers combines adventure, politics, and hi-tech with a dash of the human struggle, its joy and agony. Code Talkers is more than hi-tech adventure. It is a story of a family struggle that shadows national turmoil. At a point in the story, three decades have passed since a young Irish couple opened St. Kevin's School for Orphans on a shoestring in a suburban Belfast town. Since then Four thousand St. Kevin's orphan alumni have created their own secret and powerful high tech, global conglomerate. At first their goals for Ireland were lofty, but no matter their goals, the Troubles in Northern Ireland just would not give . . . and in frustration, they reached a dangerous crossroad . . . a strange synapse of events. A couple of decades of working behind the scenes, accumulating billions of dollars in hi-tech ventures and manipulating the world's financial institutions was not getting the job done. Once just a bunch of peace-loving orphans, the Order has now quickened the pace. It has unveiled its long secret battery of hi-tech weapons, and it will force the rest of the world to take notice.
