Please give me a shout if you have any questions.

Are your books meant to be read in order Roger? They do sound good and I'd like to try them out as I really like action adventure novels:o) They are such a bargain as well:)

There are threads that run between the books, but they do not necessarily need to be read in order. If you're going to sample, then why not try Mongoose Variation, it's a little cheaper and shorter, so it should give an overview of what my writing is like.

Whatever you chose, I hope you enjoy, and let me know how you get on.

Her Roger I've just looked at your books again and it recommend to read fried fox first, as they only cost less than £1.80 I was able to buy them both:D I love it so much when I get such good bargain s with books:):):) I'll be looking forward to reading through these books but they've just been added to my tbr books up near the top though so no worries:-)

Excellent

I hope you enjoy. The two short stories will give a bit of an overview, but Mongoose Variation will give a better view of the novels themselves with it being a little longer.

Alec Fincham is his Governments man of last resort, and these days he seems to be always busy. As professional soldier in the Special Boat Service (similar to a US Navy SEAL), he’s a highly trained killer. At heart he is a soldier, honourable and proud, but in modern times, his skills are needed by M.I.6. when there is no one else to turn to.

Fincham and his small team have to fight many a battle through the entire series of the books, which see him travel the globe. The adventures are set in the US, Sicily, Rome, Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Iraq amongst many others.
