I love Richard’s books for their fast-paced action and it’s been fun following the adventures of Johnny Vince. The series has gone from strength to strength. He handled the topic of PTSD with great sensitivity and insight into the traumas faced by military veterans. The inner thoughts and turmoil of Johnny are thought-provoking.
