Produktbeschreibung

The deadly acts of two snipers from different eras are connected.

1914 - Sixteen year old orphan JOB, falsely accused of murder, runs from his Scottish village and enlists in the Stirling Highlanders. DUNCAN, the brother of the murdered man pursues him to France to exact revenge. JOB's unique stalking experience compels him to become a sniper but it conflicts with his religious background. His Reverend uncle's letters give fierce justification for his inner struggle.

Present Day - Abused GASTON seeks a reckoning in bodies for his grandfather's family executed by the Nazis and for the loss of their ancestral Lorraine home. He sets out on his ten-for-one killing retribution after the old man dies. Unexpected love brings a turmoil of emotions in his crusade when his idolised BERTHA is not what she seems.

Both find solace in powerful, written exhortation for their actions but they each pay a price.

Autorenporträt

Mike was a slow starter at the writing game. For the first two years of his life he seemed intent on eating and sleeping. Once these skills were mastered he did begin to make his mark, mostly with dirty fingers, lumps of mud and soft crayon. His father was in the RAF (as was his Sergeant Mum during the war) which meant that every so often the family moved on. He was therefore very nearly educated at a lot of schools; two weeks and three days at one lucky establishment. He did eventually learn to wield a pen, but mostly for activities other than writing. As all his forebears, he entered the Armed Forces. Three grandparents in the Army, both parents in the RAF, so he joined the RN. (Historical note: Great uncle George Rowe survived the Titanic and surprisingly he wasn't to blame. He was ex-RN.) The RN was extremely educational. Mike learned how to get blisters on his feet from marching and tabbing across Dartmoor, the Brecon Beacons, and a variety of parade grounds; and on his hands from sawing, chipping and filing cast iron and lumps of steel. He was professionally sick in the Atlantic, the North Sea, and up in the ice during the contretemps with Icelandic fishermen. And, because he was young he wasn't too well in a couple of ports like Hamburg and Amsterdam - water wasn't involved. He left the Navy, tried as many jobs as possible to see what made the world work, and sold a few pathetic stories. After four years servicing the Sultan of Oman's Navy and ten years trying to keep some of the Royal Army of Oman's radio equipment going he had a BA(Hons) and an MBA and sold about fifty stories.
