    About this ebook

    "What you are about to read would be classified Top Secret were it not for the fact I've changed the names, places, events, technology and characters to protect the innocent and guilty alike."

    It was shaping up to be just another day at Atomic Weapons Research Establishment(Tadcaster) for 18 year old Bill Shilbert but then came the explosion.

    A short story of one unlikely hero's battle to save the day and get the girl. Also includes green rabbits and a smattering of dark humour.
