The author, John Sandham, uses his personal knowledge and
experiences from working in Central America during the 'Cold War'
to create this fast moving action suspense novel for adults. The
story starts just before the Falklands War in April 1982, with
Margaret Thatcher requesting support from Ronald Reagan to enable
victory in the South Atlantic. The story soon moves on to the civil
war raging in Guatemala, Central America. It was the height of the
'Cold War'. Reagan's US Administration was secretly working with
President Rios Montt to eradicate communism, while the USSR backed
Cuban government militarily and financially supported the communist
rebels, known locally as 'the reds'. Danny Sinclaire was a tough,
resilient, but ordinary Royal Air Force engineer based at Airport
Camp in Belize, where he looked after ground support equipment, as
part of the British protection force. He is soon plunged into a
dangerous situation on the border, not of his making, which leaves
him, and his team in grave danger with very few options. Carlos
Cruz, a lieutenant in the Guatemalan army, is intent on clearing
all communist rebels, known to him as 'the reds', from his patch of
the Guatemalan Jungle. He has a highly trained platoon of 40
soldiers under his command, whose job is to find and destroy all
the rebel held villages in Northern Guatemala. Sisasi, a brave and
determined Guatemalan schoolteacher finds herself unintentionally
caught up in the civil war. A terrifying life or death ordeal
starts, and escape is her only option. The British, Guatemalan, and
rebel forces clash in no-mans-land on the border.

An epic story of survival at all odds and now also a major Apple TV series.
In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't.
These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.
Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.
