Code Name Unbutton exposes an operation where Chinese Intelligence has captured a US Navy drone ship. This is a new idea in warfare, to have small unmanned vessels, sailing around and acting as the eyes and ears of the manned navy by listening in with passive sonar to track submarines. Nuclear attack boats are not defensive weapons that are hanging around your own coasts. No, like aircraft carriers, they take the war to foreign shores, not for self-defence but in order to be able to strike first. The US Navy’s ability to hunt submarines is outdated. An older Russian Akula class nuclear ...

Code Name Butterfly main focus is sniping, something that is frequently in the media these days. There is, however, a bizarre misconception in the US that police snipers are less trained, less deadly and shoot at much shorter distances. That may be true with Sheriff Departments where SWAT is seen as the ultimate but here in South Africa we don’t rate the US Police SWAT highly. The reason being, there is not one US-based SWAT Team that is rated by us as true Special Forces, they are rather seen as low percentage units and are barely able to deal with violent criminals. In South Africa, and...

Code Name Caribbean is about counter maritime-terrorism, a highly specialized form of counter-terrorism and the most difficult one of all. When a commercial vessel is taken over, hijacked by terrorists, you have a much more serious problem than with an aircraft standing on the apron. Aircrafts are actually quite easy to take back and is seen as “bread and butter” work for Special Forces. I explained the techniques on storming an aircraft in Code Name Wrangler, a book that is used by many SWAT Units as training material. Luckily, at the moment, maritime terrorist attacks are less than 1%...

In this book we look at the history of the South African Nuclear Weapons Program, long denied but always winked about, an open secret to many although the details were always vague with rumours of Israeli assistance in designing the bombs. In fact, the Israeli input was negligible as the South African nuclear weapons worked in an entirely unique way, yielding about what the Hiroshima bomb did and considered “sufficient” as a deterrent against a Soviet Union originated and supported conventional attack. This attack almost came to be in 1988 – 1989 via Angola into what was then South ...

Code Name Dawn looks at finding an enemy aircraft and shooting it down when found. This is not as easy as it sounds when done in Africa where radar coverage is not good and where at least some official deniability is desired. The South African Air Force (SAAF) had a very secretive EW (Electronic Warfare) effort going on during the South African Border War. They were flying DC-4s and Skymasters, the military version of the civilian DC-4. One of these aircraft, number 6902 is to be found at the SAAF Museum at Swartkop AFB, Pretoria and on the cover of this book. Her sister, 6901, was once ...

Very few Westerners understand how far advanced South Africa was and still is in military technology. For instance, the entire US MRAP vehicle program is based on 1975 South African technology. The list is endless and superficially dealt with in the GMJ Intelligence Briefings. In Code Name Alphabet 32, I introduce the reader to yet another South African miracle of technology, the air-to-ground & surface-to-surface Mokopa anti-tank missile. The Mokopa outperforms the better-known US Hellfire in every possible way and is described in this book. It is faster, more accurate, penetrates 50% more...

Code Name Masemole 26 explains the suspected role played by the Society of Jesus leader (SJ); General Lorenzo Ricci, in the creation of the United States of America, aka, the Second Beast of the Book of Revelation. I, personally, rate this man as the greatest strategist of all time and yet you will find few that even know he existed or his role behind the scenes. In fact, he is denied and dishonoured by most SJ members. Yet, he still influences what is happening today. The puzzle pieces which have been lost in history are now wholly re-assembled. Evil is never alone, it always gathers mates...

Code Name Foxtrot takes place in 2004 and is the first GMJ Book in chronical order, but the 6th in the Series. Here we deal with the death of a soulmate and a man driven to take revenge for her untimely death. This is where the story really starts and much is revealed about the narrator, Geoffrey Foxtrot. We reveal why Foxtrot hates Sir John McElroy, the MI6 spymaster that we meet from time to time in the GMJ Books. We also flashback in time to when Foxtrot, then still a serving Police Special Forces Company Commander, tries to rescue his kidnapped former commanding officer, Angelique’s ...

Code Name Angelique looks at military gliders. When the subject was first broached, I thought this was an insane idea. Gliders were last used in 1965 when the Soviet Union got rid of theirs. But who among military history lovers do not recall the 1944 D-Day Allied glider landings? Or Germany’s attack on Crete the year before in 1943? As I examined the concept, I quickly realised that gliders can either be conventional or unconventional in use, i.e. the 1940 attack on the Belgian fort Eben Emael which opened the way for the German infantry, was done by assault pioneers who were delivered ...

An eclectic collection of short stories by the masters of the genre including Fragment of a Novel by Lord Byron, Count Magnus by M.R. James and The Treasure Hunt by Edgar Wallace.

This audiobook contains a collection of ghostly tales to send a shiver up your spine!

Code Name Oath 19 is mainly about Special Forces diving and more specifically, “technical diving”. This is where you must decompress before coming to the surface again, usually, depending on physical fitness levels, when you are deeper than 130 feet. This is not the same as Special Forces attack diving where rebreathers are used (they don’t give out bubbles and can be used for many hours at a time). The attack divers are never deep enough to need to decompress. This is the traditional method used when sabotaging something underwater, a Special Forces speciality, like a ship or barge (...

Code Name Ndebele 14 is a follow up to the CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) book, Code Name One Alpha. Here, we explore whether it is possible to rescue downed aircrew from within a city environment and not just any city, a hostile one like Mogadishu or Mosul in recent years. This is a radically different approach from normal CSAR rescues which usually take place in rural areas. The scenario is where the aircrew are either kept safe by locals, spies or paramilitary spies (called Assassins in GMJ Books) already inside the city. Or, conceivably, the aircrew are held by the enemy after being ...

A collection of spine chilling short stories by M. R. James, Saki, Lord Byron, and Ambrose Bierce.

Angelique Dawson, a skilled spymaster, is traveling to The Democratic Republic of The Congo, once known as Zaire. She is accompanied by Geoffrey Foxtrot, her future husband and former Police Special Forces Company Commander, to investigate an outbreak affecting both humans and animals. Also present are Chinese Intelligence officers in a combined operation. Their findings were significant enough to be suppressed or misreported to this very day. Yet, what was discovered was death and destruction through biological warfare. For readers interested in covert and special forces operations in sub-...

Code Name VET 101 looks at several subjects of interest. The first is regarding captured weapon systems and how they can be abused against you. This is why all weapons, fuel, vehicles, whatever, must be destroyed before surrender or capture. As can be studied in history, unfortunately, this does not always happen. The same rules apply for counter-terrorism and counterinsurgency, nothing that can be used by the enemy should be captured by them, although, this too, is wishful thinking. In 2017, the Taliban displayed US Special Forces equipment, an FN SCAR rifle, ACOG scopes and night vision ...

Code Name Love 72 deals with two subjects. Firstly, the role of South African Army Cavalry Units during the long Border War 1966-1989. The cavalry use was a concept that came directly from the late South African Army Chief of Staff, General Magnus Malan. A man that I admire and one that was cruelly smeared as a child molester in a recent book that I consider to be unworthy in the extreme. Therefore, since the mainstream will spread their lies, I made sure to have on record that Magnus Malan was not, repeat not, a pedophile. If he was alive when the smear book came out he would have won a ...

Back in 1979 something odd happened in the southern sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean. On September 22nd, one of the orbiting US Vela Hotel spy satellites registered a double flash indicating that an atomic bomb had detonated close to the Prince Edward Island Group, 1,176 nautical miles south of Cape Town, belonging to South Africa. The hunt was on for the South African nuclear weapons rumoured to be in existence and being tested there. In March 2010, one of the orbiting South African spy satellites picked up a flash report coming from a Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) line of unknown origin in ...

Code Name One Alpha looks at human trafficking in much detail and the link with counter-terrorism. I knew about human trafficking, from the news and have read articles, however, I did not understand the true scope of the problem. As Angelique explains in Chapter 7, there are currently 40 to 43 million slaves in the world. That is close to double Australia’s population, half of that of Britain and France and about 90% of South Africa’s. Serious figures that I found difficult to comprehend. If you were to look at everyone walking around in a city like New York and imagine them in shackles...

In Code Name Mel’s Choice, we take a hard look on how to destabilise a neighbouring country. There are many ways to do so but the best is to create internal strife and pit one side against the other. If you can then start a civil war and your side wins, you have succeeded. In NATO terms this is called a “Regime Change” and highly illegal under international law. Even if you are unable to trigger a proper war, the internal strife is also good news, your enemy has to turn within to sort out its problems and then it is a lesser threat to you or so the theory goes. This is highly ...
