Disappointing - By: Gillian Waldron, 02 Dec 2008 
This book is advertised at an intense investigation thriller. I did not find it much of an investigation or thrilling.
If you like books that are more about political games then you may like this book. The first 60 pages are mainly meetings with politicians & army officials which is supposed to outline the main story.
007 with Brains.... that's Dr Steven Dunbar - By: , 05 Nov 2004 
I was lucky I was on vacation, because I got this book Wednesday & just couldn't put it down. The Gulf Conspiracy is just one of those books that you dont know what bit is true & what's fiction. I know some guys that werein the Gulf & I've heard some interesting stories from them. I've read some other books by the author Ken McClure : Wildcard, etc & this characterin the books, Steven Dunbar, is some sort of scientific ex-Special Forces action hero like Jack Ryan/ James Bond. He doesn't hang about.
A gripping medical thriller which I guess is the best book I've read for a long long time. Highly recommended, even if you're not on vacation !
McClure`s Best Book To Date - By: , 16 Sep 2004 I`ve read all of Ken McClure`s books, & this is my favourite. Its a slight departure from his usual medical thrillers, as it combines the medical background with political conspiracy, & does this very effectively. It features Dr Steven Dunbar, who has appearedin some of McClure`s previous works. His investigation leads him to the death of a scientist involvedin developing a vaccine used on British troops prior to the Gulf War, & also a Gulf veteran, claiming the vaccine has left him with a "Gulf War Syndrome". Dr Dunbar tries to get to the truth of what really went into that vaccine, & why people are prepared to kill to keep it secret.
Although, as with all McClure books, this does have a strong medical background, his easy style of writing ensures that this isn`t overwhelming, & the story flows along nicely. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from begining to end.
The Gulf Conspiracy - By: Simon Fraser, 06 Aug 2004 
This was the first Ken McClure novel I have read, & I have to record how good a read it was. The subject of Gulf Syndrome is very topical, & the storyline is very believable. It was very difficult separating what is fact, from what is fiction. The last fifty or sixty pages of the book were great, & I could not put the book down till I had finished it. Should be made into a mini series/ TV film. Well worth a read.
