Lewis Sinclaire’s earliest memory is that wherein his mother kisses him on the forehead and wishes him a happy birthday on the very day that she abandoned him. He never saw her again, but the memory is a happy one, nonetheless. But is a memory a true facsimile of what actually happened? During the lockdown of Spring 2020, Lewis, a restauranteur by trade, is forced to isolate with his dying father in the family home that he has despised all of his life. He is determined to use the time wisely, and over a game of chess and fuelled by a strong Irish Whiskey, he discovers that a memory is not the truth. He discovers precisely what went on between his mother and his father at the family villa in Le Marche, Italy, in nineteen-eighty-four, and why his mother had to abandon him. Then, at his father’s ‘lockdown’ funeral, a stranger appears, who changes his mind completely…..
Improvement is not innovation…and innovation is essential if your aim is to survive in today’s business environment.
Stealing Genius lays the foundation for a dramatic and long-overdue shift in 21st-century strategic marketing and branding. Most executives and decision-makers are now focused on improving what they already have. However, fixating on improvement in today’s world is a dangerous path—one that ultimately leads to commoditization and irrelevance.
Targeting your time, attention, and resources on innovation, by contrast, means identifying something that does not exist right now in any form—something that will create a powerful, uncopyable experience for your target customer.
In order to be successful both today and in the future, you need to separate yourself from the competition by practicing the breakthrough principle of adaptive innovation—or Stealing Genius. How? By delivering an experience that the competition either cannot or will not attempt to copy. You must create a new experience that is unique to you and that fosters a powerful emotional attachment with your target customer.
Featuring dozens of real-life case studies from a wide range of industries, Stealing Genius outlines Miller’s proven six-step process for creating an uncopyable experience. You’ll learn how to:
- Do more than think outside the box—you’ll build a new box completely
- Identify your “moose”, the distinctive customer/client profile for which you are hunting
- Leverage insight from daily experience, personal heroes, and organizations outside your industry to better serve your customers
- Flip the competition by doing the exact opposite of what those in your industry are currently doing
- Maximize your strategic innovation by bringing in a Stealing Genius facilitator
Create a truly original brand experience and start pioneering in your industry by implementing the game-changing process of Stealing Genius.

When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.
