Directive 1943

The confession no disclosure hearing will ever produce.

"They gave me a title that appears on no org chart, and a standing order dated 1943 that no one in daylight was ever meant to read."

Now he is dying, and racing two clocks: a new space service about to make its clean version the only one anyone will ever read, and his own former chain of command, which needs him gone.

A novel, and a work of fiction built on real public events.
