MMX
by Malcolm Boyd
This novel is fiction with a side helping of fact. It revolves around the 2010 Soccer World Cup. It will appeal to all soccer lovers who attended the World Cup during June and July 2010, as well as to the billions of viewers and listeners who, for one reason or another, were unable to attend. The story is based in Cape Town, South Africa but ventures into Central Africa, North Africa, the Middle East, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. While not a soccer story, it highlights the efforts of the CIA to protect the VIPs and teams from the threat of terrorism.

On Independence, he moved to Industrial and Commercial Security and worked in Zambia, Malawi, Swaziland, and the DRC. Now semi-retired and living in South Africa, he helps his son-in-law sell used earth-moving equipment.
