‘A nice little spy tale of jihad and infiltration' Author Charlie Flowers.
Britain faces a new and deadly terrorist threat. The challenge for the security services? These terrorists are receiving inside help. A double agent working within MI5 has leaked top secret information.
The traitor must be found. And stopped.
As the clock winds down to destruction they need their own man on the inside - of the terror cell.
A Recruit.
Ethan is an Elite Soldier and a veteran of the ‘War on Terror’. He has served Queen and Country on blood-strewn battlefields. He has been shot at, blown up, wounded and decorated for bravery multiple times. His task? Too infiltrate the terror group.
But Ethan is mixed up in a deadly game of bluff and double-bluff? And he'll have to work out what exactly he has been recruited for - before it is too late.
The Recruit is a stunningly realistic thriller from a writer with personal experience of the war on terror.
Alexander Khan is a British-born writer, former British soldier, and passionate storyteller whose memoirs delve into the raw terrain of identity, loss, and the long road to healing. Born in Scotland to a Pakistani father and an English mother, his early life was marked by displacement, cultural conflict, and the silent struggle of living between two worlds.
His debut memoir, Orphan of Islam (HarperCollins, 2012), broke new ground by giving voice to a story few dared to tell. Deeply personal and powerfully honest, it struck a chord with readers from all walks of life and continues to resonate to this day.
Now based in Hampshire with his wife and son, Alexander divides his time between writing, public speaking, and advocacy. A qualified skydiver with over 3,000 jumps and an avid fisherman, he has been featured in Soldier magazine and has shared his story across international platforms, including BBC World Service, BBC Radio 5 Live, and the BBC Asian Network, as well as numerous podcasts.
Alexander remains committed to telling stories that challenge assumptions, spark conversation, and explore what it means to belong.
