Spooks- copycat plot.

I couldn't believe my eyes when watching Spooks on BBC television this evening. One of the plots involved an Al Qaeda ship embarking from Tunisia. Following a pirate attack, two explosive laden submersibles head for London with the intention of passing through the Thames barrier and detonating outside the houses of Parliament.
In my novel, Apsaras II, two Iranian semi-submersible boats leave Tunisia, loaded with nuclear bombs. One heads for New York and the other for central London, along the Thames. They are scheduled to co-ordinate their attacks to coincide to with the end of Ramadan.

It is so irritating, when you have an idea but because you are a no one, it never receives any recognition whilst others, already successful, capitalize on the story. I'm not saying they're the same but so close as to be recognizable even though my story was written (and submitted to agents and publishers) two years ago.

I watch with baited breath to see if Spooks features a story about Haiti in the coming weeks.
