Synopsis

Mike had it all, a great wife, a fantastic career, a beautiful home and life couldn’t get any better. As an ex-soldier, he’d been out of the army for the best part of nine years now. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction. Then, one day the world around him began to spiral out of control. Initially thought to be a random series of unfortunate events, something about it all seemed eerily familiar to Mike. Suddenly a conversation from the past with a friend and former army colleague sprung to mind, about a report, written years ago and believed to have been buried and forgotten. Mike knew this was all part of something bigger, much bigger. The more he tried to stay away, the more he became embroiled in the ensuing chaos. But the problem Mike faced wasn’t knowing what was to come, it was how do you convince those around you of the danger that’s on it’s way?

Join in the exciting new series of books called ‘Operation Fools Mate’, written using the author’s own military experiences as people up and down the country begin the fight for their country’s survival against the odds.

“A nail biting, tense drama that perfectly captures the zeitgeist of contemporary politics. Unputdownable, realistic tense drama and a fascinating insight into modern army life with characters you feel you know. Exceptional story telling with insights into what modern warfare entails. So believable you will ask, ‘Could this happen?’ Five out of five.”

“For someone who usually does not read these type of books I was thoroughly impressed at how it captured me page by page until eventually I just had to finish the book. Do not read this if you have things to do. You will not get them done.”
