★★★★★ “A HIGH-SPEED THRILLER THAT GETS BETTER WITH EVERY PAGE.”

The planet’s natural resources are in decline. Climate change is a clear and present danger. The world’s economy is collapsing. For a secretive committee of global elites, the solution is obvious…

Humanity must be culled.

Enter the Angola virus, a lethal pathogen born not in the squalor of an African prison but manufactured and tested under the utmost secrecy. Now it’s ready for global release, and The Committee are about to pull the trigger…

Unless former employee Frank Marshall can stop them.

But Frank is a broken man, his hands stained with the blood of innocents. Washing it off won’t be easy, but he has to try because a shot at redemption is all Frank has left.

And when he emerges from the shadows, the former Navy SEAL will have to move fast, stay one step ahead of the hunter teams sent by his erstwhile employers to kill him.

Frank’s mission will take him from the mean streets of Harlem to the scorching deserts of Iraq, from the urban prison of a south London estate to the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps. And he’ll need to move fast, employ every deadly skill he’s ever learned if he wants to stay alive and save an unsuspecting world from a deadly, deliberate pathogen.

Because speed is everything.

And the countdown to global extermination has already begun.

“I WOULD BUY ANYTHING WRITTEN BY THIS AUTHOR. UNPUTDOWNABLE!”

British Prime Minister Gabriel Bryce lies injured in hospital, a survivor of the car bomb that has wiped out his cabinet and thrown the country into chaos.

Elsewhere, another IED destroys Britain’s biggest mosque, slaughtering hundreds. Framed for the atrocity, former soldier Danny Whelan becomes Europe’s most wanted man.

The plot is underway, the target Britain itself.

As the dead are buried, and a new government takes power, both Bryce and Whelan realise they have become pawns in a vast conspiracy, its objective to crush a rebellious Britain and throw open the gates of Europe.

If they are to survive the coup, Bryce and Whelan must stay one step ahead of their enemies, led by a ruthless British politician determined to see them both dead…

And Britain transformed for all time.

“MORE THAN JUST A MILITARY THRILLER. REALISTIC, GRITTY, AND FILLED WITH HOPE, HEROISM AND ACTION. DC ALDEN NAILS IT YET AGAIN!”

Three years long years of tyranny and bloodshed have passed since the invasion of Europe. Now a new dawn rises…

A nuclear attack shatters the fragile peace between Beijing and Baghdad. In Europe, caliphate forces are driven back across a war-torn Ireland and into the sea.

As the tide turns and hope rises, hard decisions are about to be made.

Britain’s most senior judge, a ruthless tyrant and zealous caliphate disciple, is determined to crush the seeds of rebellion with her own brutal form of justice.

A British resistance operative, secretly embedded with the country’s cruel elites, is forced to put his own life at risk as the walls close in around him.

Far to the north, the King’s Continental Army is preparing for all-out war. Within its ranks, four friends stand ready to assault the deadliest frontier imaginable, one that stands between them and the liberation of their homeland.

And when the uprising begins, the battle that follows might cost them all their lives.

A truck bomb obliterates Whitehall. Airliners are blasted out of the city skies. Across central London, thousands lie dead. The invasion has begun…

Prime Minister Harry Beecham has escaped death by a whisker. The government has collapsed, and London is now a war zone. His only option is to flee the city - if he can find a way out.

Escorted by his SAS close-protection team, Harry intends to head for a secret government complex hidden beneath the west country hills, but as they attempt a perilous escape through the besieged city, Harry realises that the target is not just London…

It’s Europe itself.

As England buckles before the might of the Caliphate’s onslaught, the eye of the storm shifts to the north, where scattered British forces are gathering along an ancient border, stockpiling arms and ammunition and digging in deep as they await the final, bloody battle for survival.

A battle they must win so that millions can survive.

Behind the razor-wire fences of a British defence industry contractor, a former refugee finally receives the ‘go’ order he’s been waiting for. The mission he’s been given is a simple one - kill as many as you can.

In central London, a lone police officer struggles to stay alive as airliners are blasted out of the skies and co-ordinated terror attacks kill thousands, spreading chaos and fear.

Trapped inside his besieged embassy, the US Ambassador is forced to make the toughest decision of his life as heavily-armed terrorists storm the building in an orgy of death and violence.

Soon, Britain will face the full might of the approaching military storm…

And only time will tell who lives, and who will pay the ultimate price.

“DELIVERS THE GOODS. THIS IS HOW TO WRITE A THRILLER!”

Abandon all fossil fuels or face an unstoppable plague...

In the wake of the Baghdad disaster, President Amy Coffman is battling to get her administration back on track when eco-terrorists threaten to unleash a gruesome contagion across the globe, one that transforms ordinary people into blood-thirsty savages. 

Unless the world dials the clock back a hundred years.

Either way, billions will die. As the US military-industrial complex mobilises to neutralise the terrorists, Coffman and her allies discover a new and unexpected reality…

The contagion is not a threat - it’s an opportunity to seize ultimate power.

But first, the dominoes have to fall.

The targets are global cities with teeming populations, and Coffman intends to watch them all burn as the horrifying pandemic spreads across the planet.

Unless she can be stopped. But doing so might set the world on a far darker and dangerous path than anyone can imagine.

And humanity is running out of time.

Delta Force operator Vann Jackson has brought something far deadlier than his guns back to the US embassy in Baghdad.

He’s carrying a gruesome virus, and after he launches a savage attack in the embassy chow hall, it doesn’t take long before the infection spreads and things go to hell.

As the death toll climbs faster than a Baghdad thermometer, desperate diplomats beg Washington DC for help, but Secretary of State Amy Coffman has other plans for the embassy…

And they don’t include saving her fellow Americans.

“HUGELY ENJOYABLE, LOADS OF ATMOSPHERE, AND A VERY CLEVER TWIST!”

In the dark skies over Nazi Germany, Harry Wakefield faces a terrible choice - jump from his crippled RAF bomber without a parachute or burn to death as it crashes to earth. 

Harry jumps - and survives with barely a scratch.

20 years later, a powerful earthquake rocks the Berwyn Mountains in North Wales, waking Harry and his family from their sleep. Convinced that a plane has crashed on a nearby peak, Harry races up the mountain, only to discover the wreckage is not an aircraft. It’s something else entirely. 

And there’s a living, breathing survivor.

As police and soldiers lock down the mountain, others converge on the area, dark agents of powerful organisations who know the truth about extraterrestrials and their long history of earthly visitations.

With the noose slowly tightening, Harry and his family must choose between betraying their strange visitor or evading the ruthless hunters determined to suppress all public knowledge of a bizarre and frightening phenomenon.

One that Harry has witnessed before in the skies over Nazi Germany.
