KARNAK
AN ANCIENT AND SPRAWLING METROPOLIS WHERE THE NATIONS OF THE JEDAH SEA GATHER TO PLAY GAMES OF POLITICS AND INTRIGUE.
Captain Jon Forge is retired and hating it. Yet he has no love for the army he has left behind or the men who commanded it.
But when a general comes calling, Forge finds he has no choice but to ride out once more. Not for his country, but for the only man he called a friend. A man that was found dead in Karnak Karnassus.
The mission? To enter the city and break out the most protected, important and well-guarded politician in all of the Jedah The Paternal. Keeper of secrets that could bring down empires.
His only help is a motley crew of rogues who wouldn't know discipline if he threw it at them. Out of his depth, Forge is surrounded by a hundred thousand eyes and whispering mouths, not knowing who to trust.
From the dark and twisting alleys of the rookeries to the grand avenues of the rich and mighty, Karnak Karnassus is a battlefield he has never encountered and is clueless to negotiate. Has he finally taken on more than he can handle?

About the author
Alex Janaway
9 books7 followersI’m 42 and starting to panic.
After graduating from the University of Kent with a degree in English and American Literature and Film Studies, I went to work for a movie stills archive called Kobal – great people! But I realised I needed more, so decided to join the Army and see the world.
After ten awesome years of military tourism in the Royal Engineers and ETS, I left in 2006, married the woman of my dreams and settled down in Saffron Walden. I also started work for Jagex – a phenomenally successful internet games company.
My first novel Redoubt, was published in 2008, six years in the writing and conceived in a portacabin on Sennelager Training Area, I finished the first draft whilst in British Headquarters during Gulf War 2. I went freelance at the end of 2011 and have worked on a number of computer games including Merlin: The Game for Bossa Studios. I provide articles and reviews for Fantasybookreview.co.uk and SFcrowsnest.org as well as book and movie reviews for Soldier magazine.
My passions are Star Wars, Games Workshop, cricket and wildlife – all that grizzly bears really need is a good cuddle!.
