About the author
Peter Ralph
22 books29 followersPeter Ralph is a former ‘big four’ chartered accountant who specialized in corporate reconstructions, recoveries, and liquidations. In the reconstructions, he acted as a surgeon chopping away the excess fat. In the recoveries, he was like a lifeguard giving mouth to mouth. In the liquidations, he was a combination of funeral director and forensic investigator.
As a forensic investigator, Peter spent a large part of his career investigating the reasons for corporate collapses and testifying in the courts.
Later he became CEO of one of his recovery clients, a heavy transport equipment designer, and manufacturer that he successfully floated as a public company.
He has a background well suited to writing financial thrillers. In 2012, he was highly commended in the Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Awards, for his novel about unconventional gas, Dirty Fracking Business.

A coming of age story directing our hero to the life he is destined to live.
Growing up in the backwoods and being quietly mentored by his father's friend, he enlists in the military and comes home just wanting peace and a quiet life.
He can't escape his past, but he can run away from it. He changes his name and moves to California.
I've already bought, and, started, Fog City Fraud.
Fans of Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan, Able Team, Phoenix Force, and Super Bolans will feel right at home with this series.
I received a free copy of this book from the author through a BookSweeps giveaway, and this is my honest review.

Awesome backstory!
I have enjoyed the Josh Kennelly series and was delighted to find this prequel novella available to fill in so many details of how Josh came to be the hero he is. Imagine my surprise to find out that the character is supposed to be from a small Texas town very close to where I live. Great backstory details of Josh’s life as a young boy and how he came to choose to serve in the military. This is a “must read” for anyone following this amazing series.

Learning to kill
This was well written and held my interest. I quickly read to the end. Now I must read the next book to continue the life story of this strange boy. Great writing. Well worth reading.

Formulating Josh Kennelly!
Having read several books with this lead character, it was interesting to learn his back story. It’s as well written as any biography & is very engaging.
