About the author

I am a thriller writer, living near London. 'Death Force' is the first in a series of books following a group of mercenaries around the world. It owes a lot to action, adventure writers like Alistair MacLean, and World War Two writers like Sven Hassel. It also owes a lot to Westerns. When I'm not writing thrillers, I write a financial column for Bloomberg, and I write for The Spectator.

Good book

A bit short but I enjoyed read it all the same very good script that could be made longer for the reader to enjoy even more thanks to the author for the pleasure of reading this wee story so as always happy reading from wee me.

Good

It was short and sweet. I'm a fast reader so I read it in a half an hour, they are my type of books but they're usually longer and more detailed, with something to sink your teeth into.
