Before embarking on his writing journey, he worked in the energy industry and technology investment. In his stories, he aims to humanise high concepts.

Reviews

[Greg D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Terror from the skies of California, and many unsuspecting people are in it's crosshairs. This is not a bad read. Good character development, well written, and plenty of action. Though a bit long and drawn out. And though the story takes place in America, the author wrote the book with many a British jargon which made for some things difficult to understand for us American readers. Nevertheless, I will likely read more by this author.

I thought this book dragged out a lot before the ending. Thats why i gave it the rating I did. The ending was good. But the middle parts could have been shorter. I also would have liked the author to spell out the abbreviations they used just once. I was confused on some. And also I had to get use to the UK spelling of some words. That took a while. But for a free book, this one wasn't bad.

Too long and too boring. I had to stop reading half way through.
