The Unsung Heroes Of British Business
LinkedIn
June 10, 2019

The Delicate Force
Amazon
September 25, 2014

Reece Tassicker has a dream about a number he knows he needs to remember. When messages for him start appearing in books, he learns that his future activities are being predicted – to the precise minute. And that someone is mysteriously using this knowledge to influence events in his life. As Reece starts to out-think the people who can control his life, he learns there are chinks in our reality that allow us discrete glimpses behind the true nature of the universe. Because our reality isn’t quite as real as we think it is. He develops new thinking techniques to help understand what’s happening to him. But as Reece Tassicker gets closer to the truth, the mysterious individuals decide to eliminate him from their future plans. Permanently. The Delicate Force is an unusual half-fact, half-fiction thriller with a remarkable non-fiction ending. The facts are so extraordinary that it needs a fictional plot to help you to believe they really are true. Read The Delicate Force and be prepared to think about reality differently - for the rest of your life.
