Chapter 10
The creation of death
In for submission.
As the meal was devoured Juliet continued her recollection of the events surrounding her communications with Edward Blake; her voice took on a lighter tone as the wine relieved the stress from her body.
“Blake was a conspiracy nut. He believed that AIDS was a man-made disease. The research he conducted in an effort to prove his theory was extensive to say the least. But very private, considering his line of work”
“Absolutely”
“He introduced me to so many theories surrounding the virus that I too believed to could be possible. Some alleged that HIV was created by a conspiratorial group or by a secretive agency such as the CIA. It is thought to have been created as a tool of genocide and/or population control. Other theories suggest that the virus was created as a biological warfare drug, and then escaped into the population at large by accident” Her dark eyes opened to express the horror of such an occasion.
“How very careless” said Bond

Now on line...
Three measures of Gordon's, one Smirnoff, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold; then add a large, thin slice of lemon peel"
"I’ll see what I can do" The flight attendant glided up the aisle.
"Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Juliet, stretching her neck.
Bond laughed and helped her into a sitting position
“Sorry I didn’t know you were awake; can I get you a drink?”
"Just a Pepsi" she snuggled in close to his arm “I think you drink too much”
"I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like it to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything”
“Yes I know” She kissed his cheek, his aftershave made her think of a mountain stream, fresh and invigorating.
Bond refrained from disclosing that the drink was his own invention; some memories are not for stirring.
The attendant returned. She placed the tumbler on his table.
“One measure Absolute vodka, one measure Gordon’s gin, one measure Triple sec, one measure Bianco vermouth”
“Thank-you”
“With an Olive”
“Makes all the Difference”
“First time anyone has ever had such a cocktail. You can name it if you like it”

Chapter Twelve
Glitter-ball.
Kuwait City, Kuwait. Tuesday Day 5
The road from the airport was scrupulously clean; soon the modern skyscrapers rose to greet them. Small executive helicopters darted between the landing pads of the buildings, rushing the captains of industry to their next meetings.
The sun reflecting from the steel and glass buildings turned the city into a gigantic glitter-ball.
As they drove past the construction of a double helix skyscraper twisting out of the ground Bond noticed a helicopter in the distance.
It’s silhouette seemed oddly out of place against the Bells that were as common as the Toyotas on the road. Bond glanced in the mirror to see the helicopter emerge from behind the cobra snake shaped tower. His initial thoughts had been correct the chopper was an Apache AH1

Absolutely not. I find the new format for submitting very difficult to use.
Anyone with a black background, cannot see the text. That's why I convert to red.
Still, I hope you are enjoying the tale.

Time to catch up on the back catalogue
SILHOUETTES & SHADOWS started 22/09/2008 downloads 4003
When an otherwise impeccable financial source funds a biological weapons transaction…
…James Bond is sent to investigate the mysterious new owner of the Swiss bank responsible…
…and uncovers a powerful secret organisation that has its roots enmeshed
in the Third Reich and its sights set on challenging the superpowers of today.
The race is on to stop the weapon being deployed, but who can Bond trust?
A disgraced DOJ agent wanted by the FBI
An Israeli scientist at odds with the CIA
Even his old friend Felix Leiter cannot be relied upon in a world controlled by silhouettes and shadows
TO KILL AND DIE FOR started 11/04/2009 downloads 3925
A bitter Kremlin power struggle endangers Europe's oil and gas supplies.
After an attempt on his life, former KGB spy master
Vladimir Chenko turns to MI6 for protection.
M knows she must send her best agent to eliminate the killer hell bent on fulfilling his contract.
Failure now could lengthen the shadow of war across the globe.
Old friends; new enemies and a sadistic killer make this mission the toughest yet for 007
In Ornella, James Bond discovers a resolve to trust and lie for.
In Stasi, he finds the trail of death and destruction as a just cause to kill or die for.
BOMBSHELL started 30/11/2009 downloads 5593
From the depths of the Baltic Sea,
a Royal Naval submarine intercepts a single covert transmission;
revealing the existence of a Russian spy as that of a prominent UK Banker.
James Bond embarks on a mission to determine the fate of the suspect.
But soon discovers he is not alone in his search.
As the World prepares for war, its fate hangs on the questions
posed by a Church of death and a man of vision
When Bond discovers the answers, he is propelled on a roller coaster ride
to stop a disaster of biblical proportions.
As time runs out, the odds against Bond grow longer,
until he is forced to take the ultimate gamble.
A SECRET TO THE GRAVE started 08/09/2010 downloads 4443
A Korean oil tanker, hijacked by Somali pirates forces the closure of the Gulf of Aden. With only seven years of financially viable oil reserves remaining; the beguiled country of Yemen is fast becoming a troubled land.
Until the ransom is paid; a World starved of oil will continue to slide toward the brink of financial collapse.
Against this backdrop, James Bond and Government official Elizabeth Loverseed arrive in the claustrophobic environment of insecurity and fear; where foreign governments fight for investors and influence.
Their mission: to investigate the man responsible for the increased terrorist activities. Khaled Wazir, an arms dealer, reported to have amassed an imposing cache of weapons.
But the mission is compromised when an elderly man presents himself at the British Embassy in Sana’a, claiming to know a secret he will share only with the Ambassador.
The man, it would seem, holds the key to a sinister and ambitious plot destined to open the very gates of hell.
Will the secret be shared? Or will it be a secret to the grave.
DECREE ABSOLUTE started 21/12/2011 downloads 1748
The death of an MI6 asset in Lisbon
draws James Bond into a web of intrigue.
Something is missing from Buckingham Palace.
Something which could destroy the Monarchy.
Whatever it is, 007 must ensure it never surfaces.
It and all involved must be eliminated.
Absolutely.

As the downloads pass the 2,000 mark, I'd like to say thank-you to all that are enjoying the story.
CHAPTER 14
THIN AIR
in for submission; here's a teaser...
Bond's easy smile filled the pilot with dread “I can land this thing so don’t think you’re not expendable”
“You might be trained to land it, but there’s eight Libyan Special force commandos on-board trained to stop you”
“Well that answers the first question. So answer the second; why hijack this plane?” Bond toggled between screens on the small CCTV monitor. The pictures showed the different passenger areas. The Special ops team were lounging in their seats. The rest of the passengers were unconscious. A big man in a grey jacket had his back to the camera. The profile matched that to the killer of Corrine Murphy.
The pilot interupted his thoughts “I’m being paid to fly it into London. Once there I’m free to go”
“Well that’s debateable” answered Bond

Chapter 15 - ALEPPO
Now in for submission.
James Bond banked the Airbus over the ancient citadel and looked down
upon the medieval fortress. Standing in timeless glory was the wonder that is the extraordinary Umayyad mosque, resplendent in a colour akin to flint, or burnt orange. History dictated that this city was; and still is a historical masterpiece. It will always be remembered as the far distant trade centre mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Othello, but to see the city now in the 21st century, literally takes ones breath away. Bond took more speed and height out of the aircraft. The frame juddered as the wind buffeted the once slippery shape of the fuselage.

I just started reading Decree Absolute a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I've been
caught up at work since December believe it or not and there seems no end in site these days. I'm actually stealing the few moments of free time to pop onto this site.
Anyway Mr. Volante, is all I can say so far is that it's a bloody good read indeed - edge of the seat stuff and that's a fact. First two chapters have kept me wanting more and that, in my book is what makes a really good story. As you all know by now, I'm not one to do reviews and all that but heck, Paul, seems you got another winner here you ***** ;-)
DECREE ABSOLUTE has set the standards for Fan Fiction sky bloody high this time which means for that Volante I am going to order one of the meanest hit-teams my Regiment has within its lines and is all I can say is 22 mate. In other words, beware they who dare!
keep it coming Paul
Oh, yeah Jim, Harry Fawkes is nowhere to be found so stop thinking you know just cause I mark M F ;-)
