I can indeed do that:
J.R. Partington, "A History of Greek Fire and Gunpowder"
Alex Roland, "Secrecy, Technology, and War: Greek Fire and the Defense of Byzantium"
Nicholas Cheronis, "Chemical Warfare in the Middle Ages: Kallinikos' "Prepared Fire'"
John Haldon, "Warfare, State and Society in the Byzantine World 565-1204"
Additionally, the primary sources, though a bit sketchy, are worth a good skimming for this topic. Look at the Alexiad, the Chronicle of Theophanes, and any military manual you can get your hands on (interlibrary loan).
