'THE GUY SUSPENSE WRITERS READ. I'M A BIG FAN' Stephen Coonts Steve Richie was one of the best pilots in the business. Until, on a stormy night in Manila, the former military aviator ran out of luck and runway. He fought his way back into the cockpit from injury only for a gut-wrenching fear to threaten to ground him for good. But not before he completes one last job: to fly a rattletrap twin-engined freighter across Africa to its new owner - no questions asked. Richie is quickly drawn into a high-stakes game of international arms dealing and diamond smuggling in which his own life is of no consequence. But while the ex-fighter pilot may be down, he's not out. And those who have bet against him will find out just how much of the Top Gun he once was still survives... Skytrap is perfect for fans of Frederick Forsyth, Wilbur Smith, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Mike Lunnon-Wood, Stephen Coonts, Dale Brown and Andy McNab. 'Skytrap reminded me of the glory days of Alistair Maclean, Desmond Bagley and Hammond Innes. They don't make them like this anymore. Loved it!' Rowland White 'Plenty of action... great flying sequences' Times Literary Supplement 'Superbly convincing... Skytrap will ensnare you' Pilot

Getting caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time never stopped John Winter from doing the right thing. But when a covert mission unravels with fatal consequences, the SAS man decides he's had enough. Forging a new life as a pilot-for-hire, Winter wants to put his violent past behind him. But his former enemies have tracked him down. And the arrival of the US army to provide protection for an upcoming US Presidential visit has provided them with cover for a bold and elaborate plan to exact their revenge. At least that's what they think. Their intended target, it turns out, has other ideas...

'YOU HAVE TEN DAYS TO RESPOND...' A lifetime spent fighting other people's wars had earned John Winter a comfortable early retirement. But when the CIA seizes his money, they quickly realise that their former employee is not a man you want to try to push around. When the former combat pilot and SAS man turned gun-for-hire gives Langley a deadline for its return, the Agency think it holds all the cards. An F-4 Phantom jet fighter, an audacious plan to fly halfway round the world, and a threat to dramatically alter the balance of power in the Middle Easy says they don't. He asked them nicely. They had their chance. He's not going to ask again...

John Winter thought his flying days were over. But when his new life falls victim to dirty, distant war, Winter's unique skills, honed over years in the military, mean someone's going to pay. The CIA black ops wing is only too happy to let a former British combat pilot, SAS man and mercenary with nothing left to lose make sure they do. Sent on a covert, deniable mission to South America, Winter faces a ruthless and powerful enemy. Success or failure will come down to his ability to lead a rag-tag air force from the cockpit of a lethal but battleworn British jet fighter the English Electric Lightning F6. Bristling with authenticity and authority, WHITE LIE is military thriller writing of the highest calibre.
