Inspired by the massive explosion that killed six men at the ROF Bridgwater facility, The Hoard is a thriller set in the secretive, dangerous world of an explosives factory.
The story begins in 1951 when the nitration house explodes in a fireball killing the entire crew. Gunner Wade, who is sent by the nitration crew for help, knows this was no accident: the men were murdered and Wade is branded a coward.
Thirty years later, Byron, the son of one of the victims, enters the sprawling top-secret compound to discover the truth about his father's death. But what he finds in the dark heart of this world is a hidden hoard of super-high explosives; illegally produced and drenched in the blood of those killed to conceal its existence.
As the threat of discovery mounts, Byron finds himself at the centre of a struggle to prevent a destructive force from being unleashed again and to bring the original perpetrators and their new legion of evil acolytes to justice.
Genre: Mystery
