Muck 'n' Bullets

by Sean Connolly

BOOK 2“It’s like sending a bunch of dysfunctional teenagers on a Caribbean holiday with plenty of booze and… rocket launchers!” – David Richardson (Director, ‘Shameless).Muck ‘n’ Bullets is the second book in the British Army on the Rampage Series.With the nation’s military interests lying deep in the jungles of Belize, there is one military force that surely even the Ministry of Defense wouldn’t consider sending.Belize, Central America. This is Sean's time to shine. His gun-crew have just won the coveted Regimental Gun Competition. Now is the time for some real soldiering, including over-indulgence in the poisonous local drink 'green stripe', the accidental destruction of the Warden's new hut with a grenade launcher, revenge on a football team, escapades in 'Bobby's Bar', and the export of frozen tarantulas. 'I really enjoyed the conversational tone of B.A.O.R. It's a lot like listening to my uncle talk about his time in Vietnam. Although we're 'across the pond,' I could easily picture 20 year old Sean and mates right alongside my own military friends.’
