X-Troop #1
Amped
England, 2051. Alex Harvey is a washed up SAS trooper, thrown out of the army and dumped on the streets of a country that is coming apart at the seams. Jobs are scarce, the economy is in the doldrums and a black market in performance enhancing drugs and illegal cage fighting is thriving. Alex may be out of work, but his quest for that adrenaline high keeps him thirsting for the next challenge, the next fight. He’ll compete in any sport and take any drug in order to win, because winning is all he cares about.
So when he’s approached by a strange gentleman and offered the mother of all enhancements, he’s more than tempted.
But in order to be accepted for the treatment, he’s got to agree to a peculiar assignment: to hunt down the toughest, fastest foe that he’s ever encountered. In half the continents of the world, Alex has pitted himself against a variety of combatants, but this will be the first time he’s gone up against something that’s not of this world at all. Pretty soon he’ll find that winning is the least of his problems. When the stakes are shooting off the scale, it’s going to take all his skill just to survive.

A fast paced teaser and the opening salvo in the action packed X-Troop series.

Good Read
This was a good read by a writer that I have never read anything by that I know of anyway.
The story was good it had some minor spelling mistakes that I thought didn't affect the book and how it came out at all. To me it was a real page turner and I went and bought the next four after reading it. It's full of action and not so hard to believe that it could happen. Nice work Mr Lopez.
