When I wrote Code Name Mel’s Choice, GMJ 25, I was asked by many readers about the character, Sir Dennis, as we call him, a legendary Rhodesian Air Force pilot that turned out to be a Soviet GRU (Russian Military Intelligence) penetration agent. A man that took the identity of a long-deceased RAF pilot and became a legend. After Angelique captured him, he was handed over to MI6 for questioning. It was either that or summary execution. In this book, we deal with Sir Dennis further - his subsequent “defection” from MI6 to DGSE, the French Spy Agency. However, you cannot just leave the ...

Code Name Oath 19 is mainly about Special Forces diving and more specifically, “technical diving”. This is where you must decompress before coming to the surface again, usually, depending on physical fitness levels, when you are deeper than 130 feet. This is not the same as Special Forces attack diving where rebreathers are used (they don’t give out bubbles and can be used for many hours at a time). The attack divers are never deep enough to need to decompress. This is the traditional method used when sabotaging something underwater, a Special Forces speciality, like a ship or barge (...

South African Army Special Forces are highly rated in the Special Forces Community. Their standards are way above anything that the West can achieve with Selection failure levels of 95% on average and at least once, 100% where not one man made it. In their first 40 years history, more than 100,000 men (and no women) tried to make Selection, 482 succeeded. The Selection, with all its phases, takes a full year to complete. The training cycle takes three years and in between top secret operations are conducted to earn the operator’s badge which is highly valued. There is no unit anywhere in ...

Code Name Masemole 26 explains the suspected role played by the Society of Jesus leader (SJ); General Lorenzo Ricci, in the creation of the United States of America, aka, the Second Beast of the Book of Revelation. I, personally, rate this man as the greatest strategist of all time and yet you will find few that even know he existed or his role behind the scenes. In fact, he is denied and dishonoured by most SJ members. Yet, he still influences what is happening today. The puzzle pieces which have been lost in history are now wholly re-assembled. Evil is never alone, it always gathers mates...

It was Winston S Churchill that stood out as the statesman that understood naval power more than anyone else. In all his books, he has the same message. The navy is what keeps enemy soldiers away from the mainland. Nothing has changed, without the US Navy, mainland USA is under severe threat of not only blockade but of invasion by a foreign army, i.e. the Chinese one. The rise of the Chinese Navy and the brutally frank political analyses in this book should be worrying, they are moving in relentlessly, cutting your sea routes as explained in many GMJ Books. In Code Name Ghost we take a hard...

Code Name Green 41 deals with the interdicting of drug smuggling routes by using Special Forces and secret agents only. No police, no costly public trials, no arrests, just summary justice as it should be. Things that go “boom” at night and no one knows why, except those that are smirking in delight, shaking hands on a job well done. The question I wanted to answer is, can hard drugs be used as a weapon of war? If you somehow could flood an enemy army with drugs as was done apparently in Vietnam to the American Army, will you win the war? In more recent times we look at Afghanistan and ...

Code Name Phantom looks at security at military installations and the state of the military ordnance which are kept on these sites. There are shocking statistics highlighted in this book regarding this state of affairs for all militaries and not only in South Africa. In 2010, in South Africa, there was 78,000 tons of immediate use ordnance available, 67% of which need immediate destruction. That is 52,260 tons. In simple terms, the old ordnance may explode at any time. The problem is getting worse since they are unsafe to move. They should have already been used in exercises, shot out or ...

Since the very first GMJ Novel, Code Name VFO565, was published in late 2014, I have spoken about the “Muslim Truce” which is something that is officially denied by the authorities. I stated that the new South African Government reached out to what many will call “Islamic Radicals” and offered or negotiated a deal that they will be welcomed to recuperate and be protected in this sphere but only if they behave. This is the spirit of Ubuntu. Because it is so important, you can read more about the ‘Muslim Truce” in the Intelligence Briefing available at www.georgemjames.com. From ...

Spymaster extraordinaire, Angelique Dawson, is fresh from a successful mission, Code Name Love 72. She is flying with her future husband and former Police Special Forces Company Commander, Geoffrey Foxtrot, to the secret runway in northern Mozambique close to Lake Niassa. Foxtrot, the narrator, and Angelique’s bodyguard, is trying to keep her safe and wondering what else she is up to and not explaining. It soon becomes clear that she has two teams of a rogue unit, The Assassins, whose members tried to kill her before, lined up to be trained in advanced demolitions. But typical of ...

Code Name Casselberry is about evacuating trapped citizens from hostile countries by unconventional means. In Africa, things are different than in the rest of the world and are often more confusing. A nation that seems peaceful and can be peaceful for years may explode into violence overnight. It is hard to predict such events because the signs of unrest are always there. If violence does erupt, one must act very quickly, and the usual Western way is to evacuate trapped citizens by securing an airport or airfield. Once this happens, the citizens are led onboard onto cargo planes or other ...

Code Name OST-M deals with deviousness. We show how a good man can end up working for the enemy and not even know it. The scenario is to run a red flag operation on him. You let the person working for you believe that he is working for someone else, someone he has sympathy with. Older readers will recall Sean Connery in “From Russia with Love.” In this film, the Russian female cypher clerk thinks she is working for the KGB but actually she is recruited by and is working for a criminal organisation. In another case, the FBI, before they became the “Clinton Whitewash Bureau,” ...

Since the very first GMJ Novel, Code Name VFO56, which was published in late 2014, I have written about the “Muslim Truce” which is officially denied by the authorities. Be that as it may, I stated that the new South African Government reached out to what many will call “Islamic Radicals” and offered or negotiated a deal - they will be welcomed to recuperate and be protected in this sphere but only if they behave. That is the spirit of Ubuntu, something that I explain in this book and a previous one, Code Name Wednesday 7. There simply was not a logical reason why there were so many...

Code Name Rebecca 65 touches on what many will consider to be conspiracy theories. But I am not known to write anything that I cannot substantiate. It is not my concern, nor do I care, who you choose to serve as your God. These are your private beliefs but you ought not to be lied to when you make that choice. Yet you are lied to. What I found out during my research and what is denied, is beyond belief. This is the most important GMJ Book written to date. This is the one that gives the greatest warning - that the US and UK are under Vatican control. That the leaders of the free world are ...

Code Name Pour Angelique deals with the consequences of starting a fire you cannot control and how it may come back at you. When Special Forces or secret agents attack someone or something they better succeed, or the retaliation will follow you home. We see this happening every day in the current War on Terror. Traditionally, before 9/11, the terrorist activities were far away and something in the news, not in your neighbourhood if American or if from Western Europe. There were terrorist incidents, of course, especially in France where not all were Muslim related as such - Mossad taking out...

In Code Name Lise, we deal with the idea of sinking warships with shore-bound artillery. It can be done and was done before, but you need the ships to be near, at a dangerously close range. They must be ambushed unexpectedly and destroyed, or you will be in deep trouble, as they call in heavy airstrikes or use their long-range weapons to maximum effect. The major problem you may face in this scenario is the air threat. All modern warships are armed with helicopters and South African warships at times have the Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter on them. This helicopter is deadly and feared for...

In Code Name Phoenix, we deal with the idea of sinking a modern warship with a converted Q-ship, using a combination of automatic anti-aircraft cannon, a field gun and MANPAD missiles against any air counter-attack. Although not unknown in history, we can think of several Q-ships and we discuss their history in the book, this has not been done in decades. However, it can be done, I am sure. The idea is to get close and to open up with devastating effect, using a mixture of high explosives, armour piercing, incendiary and depleted uranium shells to take out the vital parts of the ship; the ...

Code Name Dawson is the last book in the “Egg Breaker War” Series within the GMJ Series. It has been a long road for Angelique Dawson, the brilliant onetime South African Secret Service Head of Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Espionage. After her illegal detention in 2012 and subsequent escape and defection to France (Code Name VFO565), she came back to deal with unfinished business. The “Egg Breaker War” kicked off with a surprise attack on the households of the narrator in the GMJ Books, Geoffrey Foxtrot and his best friend, legendary Special Forces officer, Geelslang Peter Ndebele,...

Code Name Ndebele 14 is a follow up to the CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) book, Code Name One Alpha. Here, we explore whether it is possible to rescue downed aircrew from within a city environment and not just any city, a hostile one like Mogadishu or Mosul in recent years. This is a radically different approach from normal CSAR rescues which usually take place in rural areas. The scenario is where the aircrew are either kept safe by locals, spies or paramilitary spies (called Assassins in GMJ Books) already inside the city. Or, conceivably, the aircrew are held by the enemy after being ...

Code Name Blue Tang is a startling book according to many, including myself. I was astounded at what my research revealed. For example, the buzz words for the F-22 / F35 Programs is “BVR” or “Beyond Visual Range Missile Technology” which is a dead-end street but one that is promoted by every “expert” you hear about. Let’s look at history; BVR was used in war, in Africa of all places and we will discuss this. BVR is not rated as worth much and you will read why. What shocked me was that NATO never had air superiority in the 1980s because of a stolen South African technology; ...

In Code Name Wrangler, we address the issue of CQB (Close Quarter Battle) and how to storm a hijacked aircraft to rescue hostages. What you are about to read is 100% technically correct. We also look in detail at other rescue attempts in Code Name Wrangler like the successful Entebbe Raid, the Lufthansa Mogadishu Rescue, and the ill-fated Operation Eagle Claw (Tehran Embassy) as well as the Munich Olympics, the last two mentioned were massive failures. Ironically, storming an aircraft to rescue hostages is bread and butter work for Special Forces. It has been successfully done in history ...
